And then they flipped immediately.
That kind of contrarian partisan politics that has now been injected by our medical societies
into the narratives creates this kind of polarization that the media loves to feed off of.
And so all I can do as a physician, as a regulator, is to speak directly to the data.
That's right.
We are one of two countries, along with New Zealand, that tolerate these direct pharma ads at the magnitude that we see, to the point where now they dominate the entire television media.
It's literally to the point where in every commercial break, somebody is singing and dancing or dancing
synchronized swimmers or people marching somewhere in some beautiful Pleasantville.
And they're trying to get you to take something you don't even know what it's for.
You never even heard about psoriatic arthritis.
And you just feel like, okay, I give up.
I'll take it.
And then you might hear a long list of side effects and you say to yourself, wait a minute, did they just say sudden death as a complication?
And so what we have a responsibility to do at the FDA and jurisdiction by Congress to handle.
is that claims of a pharmaceutical company have to be supported by clinical data that they present to us.
They cannot make claims that are unsupported or they cannot advertise in a way that provides an imbalance of information to the point where it's all glowing and there's no side effects.
No.
Some of those ads today list no side effects.
Some of them actually have no words spoken.
You will literally see an ad with the name of a drug, people dancing, and you'll hear music with no words uttered.
