I actually agree with this. Influencers and advocates should absolutely disclose relevant conflicts of interest. So should ALL nonprofits, which should include addiction medicine and others that benefit from opioid reduction. That would include Shatterproof, Partnership for Drug Free NJ, Rummler Hope, and those pushing nonsense like Pain Reprocessing Therapy.
Doctors don't get paid for writing a particular prescription—in fact, that would be illegal.
Influencers get paid when you buy their peptides.
Yet this is rarely discussed, as if physicians are the only ones with potential conflicts of interest. That's BEYOND baffling!
Hate to break it to you: your favorite influencer never took a Hippocratic oath.
