Varma — who served as senior health advisor to then-Mayor Bill de Blasio during the height of the pandemic, talked about hosting orgies with his wife and attending underground dance parties with more than 200 people.
Hidden Camera Revelations
Dr. Jay Varma, New York City's former COVID czar, was filmed on hidden camera discussing his attendance at drug-fueled sex parties during the pandemic, claiming he hosted orgies and participated in large underground gatherings.
Contextual Defense
Though Varma didn't deny having participated in these parties, he argued that his comments were taken out of context, stating he had to be discreet because he was in charge of the city's COVID response.
Admittance of Participation
Varma acknowledged that he attended private gatherings between April 2020 and May 2021, suggesting his comments should not reflect poorly on his professional conduct during the pandemic.
Claims of Targeting
In response to the fallout from these revelations, Varma claimed he was targeted by an operative from an extremist organization aiming to undermine public health officials and their efforts.
Public Health Messaging
During the same period he was partaking in these activities, Varma was also frequently seen on FOX 5 NY, advocating for public health measures like wearing masks and social distancing.
