Former COVID czar bragged about sex parties

The public official in charge of New York City’s COVID-19 response held drug-fueled sex parties and attended a dance party underneath a Wall Street bank with more than 200 people during the height of the pandemic — while during the day, he ordered New Yorkers to social distance and mask up.Dr. Jay Varma — New York’s senior public health adviser under Mayor Bill de Blasio from April 2020 to May 2021 — was the chief architect of the city’s COVID-19 vaccine mandates, lockdowns and bans on large gatherings.

Using an undercover camera operative, podcaster Steven Crowder caught Varma bragging about how he broke his own rules.

Children’s Health Defense (CHD) CEO Mary Holland told The Defender, “It is outrageous to now learn that the doctor who fashioned NYC’s COVID measures completely disregarded them in the most flagrant manner.”

Holland added:

“Dr. Varma follows in the pattern of what we’ve learned about the disregard for these policies by other lockdown architects: Fauci, Pelosi, Newsom, and Johnson and Ferguson in the U.K.

“This shows us that these so-called leaders themselves did not fear COVID while they induced fear in the public and imposed tyrannical and draconian restrictions on others.

“The public needs to question all authority — especially in public health — and take these behaviors into account in future elections.”

‘If anybody sees me here, they’re going to be pissed’

Crowder on Thursday released video footage of Varma on his YouTube channel, garnering the attention of The New York Times.

Varma confirmed to the Times that he attended three gatherings between August 2020 and June 2021. He added that although he didn’t dispute the recordings’ authenticity, they had been “spliced, diced and taken out of context.”

The video footage shows Varma disclosing to an off-camera listener that he attended multiple private sex parties during the pandemic, including one he and his wife held in a hotel room in August 2020 with roughly 10 people who took MDMA, a psychoactive drug sometimes referred to as Molly or Ecstacy.

Varma also discussed enjoying a dance party in June 2021 — “right when we were about to do the vaccine mandate, right before it” — attended by 200 people under a Wall Street bank.

“We were all rolling, we were all taking Molly, and everybody’s high,” Varma is heard saying in the video. “And I was happy because I hadn’t done that in like a year and a half.”

He admitted to being a little nervous that someone might recognize him. “If anybody sees me they’re gonna be pissed.”

Joseph Borelli, the Republican minority leader of the City Council, told the Times that the video revelations undercut the COVID-19 measures Varma had pushed. He said:

“I recall being treated like a pariah for pointing out the obvious at the time — that so many of our so-called leaders were just making up illogical rules as they went along. … Still, even I couldn’t have predicted how full of it they actually were.”
