The CIA’s former top-ranking doctor is suing the spy agency over her firing, accusing the government of denying her due process and allegedly bowing to far-right activists who singled her out for criticism.
Terry Adirim, director of the CIA’s Center for Global Health Services, was hired by the agency after serving as assistant secretary of defense for health affairs at the Pentagon during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Just days after starting her job last year at the CIA, far-right commentator Ivan Raiklin accused Adirim of allegedly being the “architect” of the Defense Department’s vaccine mandate, which required members of the military to get the Covid-19 jab.
The lawsuit alleges that Adirim’s hiring at the CIA was not yet announced publicly and that someone inside the government leaked that information to Raiklin.
Raiklin, a former Green Beret who has called himself the “secretary of retribution,” has been an intense critic of the Covid-19 vaccine, calling it a “DNA-mutilation injection.” He has demanded retaliation against Pentagon officials who he believes were involved in requiring service members to get the Covid-19 vaccine.
