The Porto Ricans (sic) are the dirtiest, laziest, most degenerate and thievish race of men ever to inhabit this sphere… I have done my best to further the process of extermination by killing off eight and transplanting cancer into several more… All physicians take delight in the abuse and torture of the unfortunate subjects
Dr. Cornelius P. Rhoads
This is an actual quote from a personal letter.
Dr. Rhodes deliberately injected cancer cells into unknowing patients, which resulted in the deaths of at least 13 people. For his achievements Dr. Rhoads was featured on the cover of Time Magazine June 27, 1949.
