    It cost my daughter emotionally, physically, and mentally. I feel as though I were sucker punched emotionally into getting the HPV vaccine series for her and it really caused a plethora of problems.

    We need honesty about vaccines. Do NOT tell me what to put in my body. Let me make my own decisions.

    Vaccine Safety is a real issue. This kind of advertising is reckless and unsafe to children.

    It's time the corruption and deliberate fraud be stopped by the CDC and vaccine manufacturers. The damage to myself and my children is done. However, for my grandchildren and all of humanity, safe and honest science must become the priority. Let's start expecting people to be responsibility for themselves. That starts with giving them back the power to make informed choices.

    Ads are used to sell products to the American public. Toy companies can be sued if the product causes harm or death. This is not the case with vaccines and therefore I request a law banning DTC Marketing of pharmaceutical products immediately.

    TV is no place to advertise what a Doctor should bring up to a patient. With advertising like this. People are able to self diagnose and then tell their doctor what the need. Remove pharmaceutical advertising.

    It should be illegal to advertise medication type products on television. This is an issue for a person and their doctor. Now I know that the news has to be funded by big pharma because there are sooo many commercials on every major network. Talk about a conflict of interest. How can one trust networks to provide "unbiased" information.

    These fear-mongering ads must be removed from media. This is about profits before healthcare and must be stopped!

    Please ban direct to consumer advertising. Our media is all bought, but our politicians are too. So who is going to stop this?
