"If I were in charge for a day I'd make it a law that the CDC and the FDA could not take any outside sources of funds. NO money from Big Pharma. I'd also outlaw allowing Big Pharma to advertise on TV or in print. The damage being done to this country from these two things is perhaps the biggest elephant in the room nobody wants to deal with."
I agree 100%. I think 95% of America agrees. The only people that think this is a bad idea are the politicians addicted to bribery (and insider trading).
Agree with you. I would amend my statement to include a prohibition of any industry that is prohibited from advertising (tobacco, big pharma) from contributing directly to a politician's campaign or a politician working for a prohibited company or lobbying for that industry for 5-years after leaving government
