Dr. Aaron Kheriaty is a psychiatrist and bioethicist who became nationally known after he was fired from his position as a professor at the University of California, Irvine School of Medicine, and Director of the Medical Ethics Program at UCI Health, for challenging the university’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate. He filed a federal lawsuit arguing that the mandate violated his constitutional rights by failing to account for natural immunity and by compelling a medical intervention against his conscience.
He will speak on his landmark free speech case, Missouri v. Biden, which challenges federal government censorship efforts in collaboration with social media platforms—a case with profound First Amendment implications.
