Dr. Aaron Kheriaty: What Nazi Germany Teaches Us About How Public Health Can Veer Off Course

T

 "The first people who were gassed in Nazi Germany were not Jews or other ethnic minorities in concentration camps. They were mentally disabled patients in psychiatric hospitals. …What was it about the medical & public health system that started to veer off course? And is there a temptation in other societies to start moving in that direction?” In this episode, we sit down with medical ethicist Dr. Aaron Kheriaty to discuss what went wrong these last two years and the rise of a “biomedical security state.” Dr. Aaron Kheriaty is the Chief of Medical Ethics at the Unity Project and fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center. He previously was a professor at UC Irvine and Director of UCI Health’s Medical Ethics Program before he was fired for refusing vaccination.
