> still allow companies like Ranbaxy

The same we still allowed companies like Bayer to do this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contaminated_haemophilia_blood_...

The same we still allowed companies like GlaxoSmithKline to do this: http://www.bbc.com/news/business-29274822

The FDA, Bayer, Pfizer, Ranbaxy, big pharma will always sleep well. http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2006/08/0...

There have definitely been ethical lapses at many large pharma companies. Ranbaxy seems in a different class altogether, though.

Incidentally, Mercola.com is absolutely not a reliable source of medical information. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Mercola. Ironically, Dr Mercola has also suggested that HIV is not the cause of AIDS.

In addition to what me_again said I'd like to draw your attention to the fact that Mercola is one of the most prominent and virulent anti-vaxxers around.

Not sure if you're making your case with a link to his site.
