The senior CIA official who helped facilitate the Biden-era military Covid vaccine mandate has been fired.
In 2021, then-Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin imposed a vaccine mandate for US troops.
Joe Biden supported Lloyd Austin’s military Covid vaccine mandate.
“The president agrees with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin that the Pentagon should continue to require all service members be vaccinated and boosted against Covid-19,” then-National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby told reporters in 2022.
According to Breitbart News, Terry Adirim, a senior CIA official and former Defense Department official under Joe Biden, was fired last week.
Adirim was fired for her role in mandating military members to either take the jab or be forced out.
Breitbart previously reported on Adirim’s memo in forcing servicemembers to take a vaccine that was not FDA approved.
Per FDA guidance, these two vaccines are ‘interchangeable’ and DoD health care providers should ‘use doses distributed under the EUA to administer the vaccination series as if the doses were the licensed vaccine.’1
Consistent with FDA guidance, DoD health care providers will use both the PfizerBioNTech COVID-19 vaccine and the Comirnaty COVID-19 vaccine interchangeably for the purpose of vaccinating Service members in accordance with Secretary of Defense Memorandum, ‘Mandatory Coronavirus Disease 2019 Vaccination of Department of Defense Service Members,’ August 24, 2021.
Breitbart News reported:
Terry Adirim, a senior Central Intelligence Agency official and former senior defense official who played a pivotal and potentially illegal role in the Biden Administration’s military vaccine mandate, was recently fired from the agency, a source has exclusively revealed to Breitbart News.
Adirim, a former senior Biden appointee at the Department of Defense who was performing the duties of the assistant secretary of defense for health affairs, had decamped in December to the CIA as director of CIA Centers for Global Health Services until about a week ago, according to the source.
Her firing was related to her role in forcing service members to choose between taking a vaccine that was under Emergency Use Authorization or being kicked out, according to the source.
On September 14, 2021, about a month after then-Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered the vaccine mandate, Adirim issued a memo instructing DOD health care providers to consider the vaccine available to service members — Pfizer’s BioNTech vaccine — as “interchangeable” with a vaccine that was approved by the FDA, known as Comirnaty.
