Science may not care about anything but it is practiced by individuals that do. And in this is where the controversy goes. Scientists do not get training in enough other disciplines for them to decide all the requirements for a study. They may be excellent and unbiased about conducting the study but determining parameters and results leaves us with the same problem.
So science is not untouchable. Science does not have the truths, just results.
As far as the drugs killing people and holding the companies accountable, in any gross negligence, they have compensatory mechanisms. Does saving thousands while 1 dies worth it? I do have issues with several drugs that are trying to preempt disease, think they do more harm than good in general. But do we criminally charge the designers of the twin towers for not knowing that terrorist would find that a good target, or car manufactures that know people will die in their vehicles?
And with all our diversity, I bet someone somewhere died from cinnamon.
