In this compelling episode, Dr. Johann D’Souza sits down with Dr. Aaron Kheriaty, a former psychiatry professor at UC Irvine who became a leading voice in the medical freedom movement during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Dr. Kheriaty shares his transformative journey of moral courage as he challenged the university's vaccine mandate, rooted in the ethical principles of informed consent and the Nuremberg Code.

* Public Advocacy: Hear about Dr. Kheriaty’s experiences speaking at the Defeat the Mandates rally and testifying at a Senate hearing, where he raised critical concerns about pandemic policies that he believes undermine medical ethics.
* Continued Work: Learn how Dr. Kheriaty has redirected his efforts from academia to think tanks, focusing on impactful research and writing that resonates with those advocating for medical freedom.
Dr. Kheriaty shares his personal philosophy on maintaining integrity and ethical boundaries, showcasing his commitment to speaking the truth even when it comes at a personal cost. Drawing inspiration from films like "A Man for All Seasons" and "A Hidden Life," he illustrates the importance of moral courage in times of crisis.
Join us for an enlightening conversation that challenges the status quo and inspires listeners to reflect on their own ethical commitments. Whether you're navigating the complexities of medical decision-making or simply seeking to understand the broader implications of the pandemic, this episode offers valuable insights on standing up for what is right.

    All the Pub's better get on board. We need a real American warrior with a brain, not a saint (like anyone in the senate is). It's not like there haven't been appointments of all kinds of fools to different cabinet positions over the decades. What we have in charge now is ridiculous. Pete's intelligent and a fast study, so can learn anything he needs to. Most combat vets don't suffer fools gracefully and have good BS detection, which he will need in this job.

    With all due respect, most four star generals got last star because of battlefield service. I know one very well who flew over 150 sorties in Vietnam and became a four star because of that. None had alcohol problems or women's issues; that's why they got promoted. Hegseth is honorable but does not have what it takes. Many better options.

    Hmmm. I wonder why there's an issue with professional psychological counseling and the hokey idea of faith? I think people of faith should seek counseling if they are experiencing psychological issues. But don't put it on the professionals to have to dumb down their knowledge. Psychologists and psychiatrists are educated and trained And the vast majority are worthwhile empathetic people.
