The Halo Effect

I was reading this article on drug companies such as Merck setting up programs in Africa to combat HIV/AIDS. Well, I tot it was a pretty cool initiative, but then after i read on, I realised there might be more than meets the eye. Skeptics believe that such drug companies have an agenda - using Africans as guinea pigs, either that or it's just another p.r ploy. However, I believe there is still a small percentage of altruism in this world, so i give these big halo companies the benefit of the doubt. I mean what if these big guys are trying to be nice, but you keep filing lawsuit against them thinking that they are not what they seems, then we are actually depriving the people in Africa a chance to such free treatments. So ya.. chill man.. (=
