Jay Varma, Drug-Fueled Sex Parties, and the NYC Death Spike
All press is good press when it comes to New York City and COVID...
Today I was on Chicago’s Morning Answer with Amy Jacobson & John Anthony, talking about the former New York City COVID czar’s drug-fueled sex parties during “lockdown.” We also discussed the Cuomo hearings and the fact that the biggest mass casualty event in NYC history hasn’t been verified with basic death records and could be fraudulent.
The Dr. Jay Varma *Confessional* videos have generated the intended amount of outrage, as people are once again reminded that officials across America and throughout the world held one set of COVID rules for You & Me and another for themselves. It’s the same essential story we saw with Boris Johnson, Neil Ferguson, Gavin Newsom, Lori Lightfoot, and [insert your own leader here] - none of whom feared a coronavirus, and behaved accordingly, even while pushing policies that harmed the populace and violated civil liberties many times over.
The alleged gatherings attended by Varma and his pediatrician wife certainly put public health hypocrisy & disregard for laws around illicit substances in full view and keep Operation COVID in the news cycles, which I appreciate.1 Things Varma says about the purpose of mandates, vaccine irrelevance, the role of teacher unions in keeping schools closed, etc., are sobering and maddening examples of the lies we were told & sold.
In the bigger picture, I am hoping New Yorkers and members of city council who are demanding accountability (like Vickie Paladino) are angry enough about these admissions to question everything that happened in spring 2020. We still have an unsubstantiated Big Apple Death Spike that was used to justify illegal mass quarantines of healthy people, forbid funerals & weddings, close businesses & houses of worship — and convince Americans and the world that a shot was needed.
I’m not sure if city council realizes the pathogen the COVID czar wasn’t worried about is blamed for the deaths of more than 20,000 New Yorkers in a couple of months - including many working-age adults - but someone should let them know.2
Since The Dead can’t be found in The New York Times, FEMA trucks, funeral money, or records showing exactly how 27,000 extra bodies were moved, maybe the first question Jay Varma can be asked at a hearing is, “Where are the bodies?”

I say “alleged” because there’s a part of me that watches the videos and sees/hears a guy who is saying all kinds of things to an unidentified woman he is clearly hoping to score with. It’s not that I disbelieve him about the parties necessarily; it’s the sheer braggadocio in his manner, coupled with a claim I seriously doubt i.e., that he convinced an otherwise resistant mayor to put vax mandates in place. Then again, Varma is perhaps arrogant enough to actually believe that he did…
The message that young and healthy people were at risk from “the coronavirus” was conveyed by the Federal government in guidelines sent as postcards to millions of Americans - and echoed by doctor voices from New York City in March/April 2020.
It is noteworthy that when SIGA fired Varma yesterday, there was no press release, just a regulatory filing, and the entire content of the statement was this:
"On September 23, 2024, the Board of Directors of SIGA Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) terminated Dr. Jay Varma, effective immediately, other than for cause, from his position as Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of the Company. Pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, Dr. Varma’s service on the Company’s Board of Directors also automatically ended effective immediately."
One of the messages from public health, certainly in liberal areas (and the Varma videos highlight this), is that deaths and disabilities caused by sexual acts and ingesting illegal drugs aren't seen as moral judgments, but getting covid, let alone dying from it, is, or was, seen as a moral judgment.
It's a key part of the politicization of public health.
