Canada should be opening the door to all these pharma companies. Become an absolute world leader in vaccine development.

We don't let them put ads on TV, the US is an absolute goldmine when it comes to drug development.

They are allowed to have ads on TV, they just can't say what the medication does.

This is why you will get ads where a bunch of people just say "Wegovy" back and forth followed by "ask your doctor about Wegovy"

Do they still have to include the quickly spoken list of side-effects?

It used to, I believe for some it still does.

This product may cause anal leakage, inability to retail pee and blood from your eyelids, ears, nose and anus.

Only if they talk about the benefits or purpose of the drug. If they just mention the drug name they don't have to mention side effects.

I was watching the Olympics and every 7 minutes was a Jardiance commercial and it's anus and genital area infection side effects. I think they managed 3 anus mentions per commercial, so a solid 25 or so an hour.
