In this episode, we delve into the rise of identity politics in the military & medical field following its continued impact on public discourse, particularly in the context of the "COVID-19 pandemic", vaccine mandates and DEI initiatives. Together, we explore the intricacies of Title VII law as it pertains to vaccine mandates and how employees can best navigate the details outlined by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid for religious or agnostic exemptions. Our guest, a seasoned military veteran and expert in Title VII law, provides insight on the legal framework surrounding vaccine mandates & corporatized workplace expectations such as the discriminatory and race-based initiatives of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives. We discuss the importance of understanding the nuances of these civil rights and the strategies employees can take to secure exemptions while maintaining their professional standing.

Join us as we explore these critical issues and seek to understand how we can begin to heal the societal divide that has emerged as a result of the politicization of public health.
