Judge Upholds CIA Firing of Doctor Over COVID Mandate Role

  • A federal judge ruled on May 9, 2025, allowing the CIA to proceed with terminating Dr. Terry Adirim, director of its Center for Global Health Services.
  • Adirim sued the CIA on May 2, alleging wrongful dismissal and denial of due process related to her role enforcing the 2021 military COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
  • The lawsuit claims activist Ivan Raiklin led a political campaign including enlisting Laura Loomer to pressure for Adirim’s firing, though Raiklin denies recent contact with Loomer.
  • Judge Nachmanoff found insufficient evidence to block Adirim’s removal, citing her contract allowed termination with 30 days’ notice for any reason.
  • The ruling permits Adirim’s termination as planned, amid intensified controversy over the COVID-19 mandate and claims of internal complaints against her.
