Former IndyCar driver Danica Patrick reacted to Upward News’ post detailing Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s plans against pharmaceutical businesses.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the nephew of former US President John F. Kennedy, was appointed the Secretary of Health and Human Services in Donald Trump's cabinet after the Republican became the US President earlier this year.
RFK Jr. recently shared his plan to ban any pharmaceutical-related TV advertisements. That was detailed by Upward News, who uploaded RFK’s picture with the headline “RFK Jr. Plans to Ban Pharmaceutical TV Ads.” They captioned the Instagram post:
“Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. plans to ban pharmaceutical ads on television. This has long been a position held by Kennedy. An attempt to enact this ban will face significant legal troubles on First Amendment grounds. The media isn't reporting the news-they're running interference for Democrats. Stories are buried. Narratives are twisted.”
Former IndyCar and NASCAR driver Danica Patrick, sharing the post on Instagram story on March 24, hailed Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s move by writing:
“I love this”

After the FDA reduced the restrictions on pharmaceutical advertisement in the late 90s, the industry boomed and is now valued at $5 billion.
