\u201cImmunity acquired from a Covid infection is as protective as vaccination against severe illness and death, study finds,\u201d proclaimed NBC News in a headline published on February 16, 2023. \u201cThe immunity generated from an infection was found to be \u201cat least as high, if not higher\u201d than that provided by two doses of an mRNA vaccine.\u201d\nIn the past, similar statements have resulted in the deplatforming of countless medical experts \u2013 including bioethicist Dr. Aaron Kheriaty, whose refusal of a COVID-19 vaccination (after recovering from a past infection) led to the loss of his job at UC Irvine medical school.\nDr. Aaron Kheriaty is a psychiatrist, the director of the program in Bioethics and American Democracy at the Ethics and Public Policy Center in Washington, D.C., and the director of the Health and Human Flourishing program at the Zephyr Institute in Palo Alto, California. He formerly taught psychiatry at the UCI School of Medicine, was the director of the Medical Ethics Program at UCI Health, and was the chairman of the ethics committee at the California Department of State Hospitals. Dr. Kheriaty\u2019s work has appeared in the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, New Atlantis, Arc Digital, Public Discourse, City Journal, and First Things.\nFollow Dr. Aaron Kheriaty at https://aaronkheriaty.substack.com and https://twitter.com/akheriaty.\n\u300c SPONSORED BY \u300d\n\u2022 BIRCH GOLD - Don\u2019t let your savings lose value.
