Unhealthy

Corruption and Malpractice in the American Health System

About this book

In "Unhealthy, " Harvard Medical School Professor Emeritus Dr. Richard L. Kradin delivers a blistering critique of America's healthcare system and its response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Drawing on over forty years of experience as a Harvard physician, Kradin exposes how the transformation of medicine from a profession to a corporate enterprise has corrupted healthcare delivery and policy decisions.

The book methodically examines how ideological commitments, financial interests, and political agendas influenced critical pandemic decisions—from lockdowns and mask mandates to treatment protocols and vaccine policies. Kradin argues that these forces led health authorities to ignore established scientific principles, suppress alternative viewpoints, and promote one-size-fits-all solutions despite mounting evidence of their ineffectiveness.

Beyond the pandemic, "Unhealthy" reveals deeper problems in modern medicine: the influence of pharmaceutical companies on research, the psychological factors driving physician compliance with questionable directives, and the dangers of allowing Progressive ideology to override empirical evidence in healthcare decisions.

Part medical exposé, part cultural critique, this thought-provoking work challenges conventional narratives about America's pandemic response and raises disturbing questions about the future of medicine in an increasingly politicized healthcare landscape. Kradin's insider perspective offers rare insight into how the medical establishment lost its way—and what it will take to restore scientific integrity and patient trust.

If you enjoyed "The Real Anthony Fauci, " "A Plague Upon Our House, " and "Pandemia, " you'll love "Unhealthy: Corruption, Malpractice, and COVID-19 in the American Health System."
