Why is OZ TV being Inundated by Medical Adds like USA TV PLEASE Stop this Brainwashing

What a joke, fine them $10mil and they are in liquidation! Not a snowflake’s chance in hell of even getting $10 :-)

Otherwise it's just buying drugs online. The production of packaging is easily replicated and drug quality and checks aren't always the best but hey, just allow them to peddle their fake medications, or just avoiding scheduled pricing in place for Pharmacists.👎🏻

and yet the same court allows the sale of products known to kill.

Teach them the right way to muscle in on the racket
