Eustace Mullins’ book Murder by Injection: The Story of the Medical Conspiracy Against America contains several controversial and provocative quotes that reflect his deeply critical view of the medical establishment. Below are some of his most iconic quotes about doctors and the healthcare system from the book:
- “The medical monopoly, or medical trust, euphemistically called the American Medical Association, is not merely the meanest monopoly known to history, it is the most ruthless and the most deadly.”
- “Modern medicine is a negation of health. It isn’t organized to serve human health, but only itself, as an institution. It makes more people sick than it heals.”
- “The doctor begins to make a diagnosis by naming the disease. Once he has named it, he begins to feel he understands it, although he has not yet begun to understand it.”
- “The medical profession is not a calling, it is a racket, a means of making money by exploiting human suffering.”
- “Doctors are trained to treat symptoms, not to find the cause of disease. The system rewards them for prescribing drugs and performing surgeries, not for preventing illness or promoting true health.”
- “The medical establishment is a cartel, not a benevolent institution. It thrives on the perpetuation of disease, not its eradication.”
- “The physician’s real business is to make money, and to this end, he must keep the patient coming back for more treatment, not to cure him.”
- “The Rockefeller influence transformed medicine into a business, where the goal is not to heal, but to profit.”
Mullins’ critiques have been both influential and polarizing, appealing to those skeptical of institutionalized medicine while being dismissed by many as conspiracy theory. His views reflect a deep distrust of the medical-industrial complex, emphasizing his belief that the system prioritizes profit over genuine care.
