Former NYC COVID czar held secret sex parties, flouted his own rules during COVID ‘pandemic’

Dr. Jay Varma admitted that ‘it would have been a big deal’ and ‘a real embarrassment’ if it was publicly known he had sex parties during COVID.

New York City’s former COVID response “architect” held secret sex parties during the pandemic even as he publicly insisted that fellow city dwellers remain isolated, undercover footage shows.

The only way I could do this job for the city is if I found a way to blow off steam every now and then,” Dr. Jay Varma, who served as the “principal scientific spokesperson and architect” for NYC’s COVID pandemic response from April 2020 to May 2021, divulged to an undercover journalist in video footage posted by Steven Crowder on Thursday.

“It’s funny because I did all this deviant sexual stuff while I was on TV,” said Varma, referring to the fact that he had sex parties during the same period he was giving daily televised COVID briefings along with NYC’s mayor. “People are like, aren’t you afraid? Aren’t you embarrassed? And I was like, no, actually, I love being my authentic self.”

However, asked whether he would have “gotten a hard time” if it was publicly known that he held sex parties during COVID, Varma admitted, “It would have been a big deal. It would have been a real embarrassment.”

He told how he and his wife rented out a hotel to have a sex party with eight to 10 people in August 2020 after he had already begun recommending social distancing measures.

“We had to be sneaky about it because hotels didn’t want people gathering there, because I was like running the entire COVID response in the city,” said Varma, going on to share that they took “molly” (MDMA) together.

Then there was the time in 2021 that he joined a dance party of about 200 people underneath a bank on Wall Street — the only time he was nervous, he said.

“I was looking around being like, f***, if anybody sees me here, they’re gonna be pissed. Because this was not COVID-friendly.”

The stunning revelations of the undercover footage are not limited to Varma’s hypocrisy about gatherings and social distancing; his guidelines drove record numbers of adults and children to depression and suicidal ideation.

When the undercover journalist mentioned there were people who would not have sex with the unvaccinated, Varma laughed, telling her that the vaccination status of a person with whom one comes into contact “doesn’t make any difference at all.”

“Everybody’s been exposed to the virus … whether you’re exposed to the virus because someone breathed on you, whether someone injected it in you, it’s the same immune response.”

Yet, he admitted not only to convincing former NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio to implement COVID vaccine mandates but to essentially forcing people to get the dangerous shots. Thus far, 37,910 deaths and 1,645,999 adverse events after COVID shots in the U.S. alone have been reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, which traditionally reports only a small fraction of total vaccine-induced death and injury.

Without acknowledging the health risk of the shots, Varma explained, “So the way we do it in public health is we make it very uncomfortable to be unvaccinated. It’s like you can’t get a job, you can’t go to a restaurant, your kid can’t go to school.”

“But was it technically kind of like forcing people?” the undercover journalist asked.

“Yeah. That’s what you do. You force people by making it really uncomfortable,” Varma said. “The whole idea is that you build barriers so that people are just like, f*** it, I’m just going to do it because I’m tired of being harassed.”

Retired New York City Fire Department Battalion Chief Tom Lapolla, whose job was terminated during the COVID outbreak due to NYC jab mandates, remarked to LifeSiteNews that the video footage makes clear Varma abused his power.

“He’s having orgies. We’re working the plandemic. He gets a good job after he leaves the city. We lose our jobs. This is tyranny. This is an abuse of power,” said Lapolla, who is running for the New York State Assembly.

“I’m hoping that the state AG, or even the federal government, investigates this,” Lapolla continued. “The mandates weren’t legislatively implemented. This isn’t the will of the people. This is the will of a select few, select elites … and people’s lives were destroyed.”

“I know it firsthand,” said Lapolla, citing the 1,500 or so city workers who lost their jobs for refusing the COVID shots, many of whom are still out of work. He mentioned a young woman he knew who, having lost her job, lost her medical coverage as well and was later diagnosed with lymphoma.

“This is atrocious. The mandate was capricious and arbitrary,” Lapolla noted. He is calling on NYC’s current mayor to “rectify” his predecessor’s administration by “hiring back immediately every single member of the NYC workforce who was terminated because of that unjust mandate.”

“He can do it with the stroke of the pen,” Lapolla added. “We want Mayor (Eric) Adams, in light of this revelation, to make those folks whole again.”

Canadian veteran challenges conviction for guarding War Memorial during Freedom Convoy

When the convoy first came to Ottawa, allegations were floated that the memorial had been desecrated. After learning of this, Evely quickly organized a group of veterans to stand guard around the clock to protect the area.

A Canadian veteran appealed to the Ontario courts after he was convicted for organizing a guard around the National War Memorial during the Freedom Convoy.

In an October press release, the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF) announced that an appeal has been filed in the Ontario Court of Appeals on behalf of Master Warrant Officer (Ret’d) Jeffrey Evely over his conviction for mischief and obstructing police while on his way to guard the Ottawa War Memorial during the 2022 Freedom Convoy.

“By locking down large sections of downtown Ottawa, the police were effectively preventing all civilians from accessing public areas and greatly exceeded their powers under the common law,” constitutional lawyer Chris Fleury explained.

“This case raises issues that have implications for protests across the province and the country. We are hopeful that the Ontario Court of Appeal will agree and grant leave to appeal,” he added.

The appeal argues that police overstepped their authority in their response to the 2022 protest of COVID mandates. Police actions at the time included locking down the Ottawa core, establishing checkpoints, and arresting protesters.

In September 2024, Everly was convicted of mischief and obstruction after his involvement in the 2022 Freedom Convoy, which protested COVID mandates by gathering Canadians in front of Parliament in Ottawa.

As LifeSiteNews previously reported, when the convoy first came to Ottawa, allegations were floated that the memorial had been desecrated. After learning of this, Evely quickly organized a group of veterans to stand guard around the clock to protect the area.

However, under former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s use of the Emergencies Act, many parts of downtown Ottawa were blocked to the public, and a vigilant police force roamed the streets.

It was during this time that Evely was arrested for entering a closed off section of downtown Ottawa during the early hours of February 19, 2022. He had been on his way to take the 4:25 a.m. shift protecting the Ottawa War Memorial.

He was forcibly pushed to the ground, landing face first. The veteran was then arrested and charged with mischief and obstructing police.

At the time, the use of the EA was justified by claims that the protest was “violent,” a claim that has still gone unsubstantiated.

In fact, videos of the protest against COVID regulations and shot mandates show Canadians from across the country gathering outside Parliament engaged in dancing, street hockey, and other family-friendly activities.

Indeed, the only acts of violence caught on video were carried out against the protesters after the Trudeau government directed police to end the protest. One such video showed an elderly women being trampled by a police horse.

While the officers’ actions were originally sanctioned under the EA, Federal Court Justice Richard Mosley ruled that Trudeau was “not justified” in invoking the EA, forcing Crown prosecutors to adopt a different strategy.

Now, Crown prosecutors allege that the common law granted police the authority to stop and detain Evely, regardless of the EA.

However, Evely and his lawyers have challenged this argument under section 9 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, insisting that his “arrest and detention were arbitrary.”

Earlier this month, Freedom Convoy organizers Tamara Lich and Chris Barber were sentenced to 18-month house arrest after a harrowing 25-month trial process. Many have condemned the sentence, warning it amounts to “political persecution” of those who stand up to the Liberal government.

Freedom Convoy leader Tamara Lich says ‘I am not to leave the house’ while serving sentence

‘I was hoping to be able to drop off and pick up my grandsons from school, but apparently that request will have to go to a judge’

Freedom Convoy leader Tamara Lich detailed her restrictive house arrest conditions, revealing she is “not” able to leave her house or even pick up her grandkids from school without permission from the state.

Lich wrote in a X post on Wednesday that this past Tuesday was her first meeting with her probation officer, whom she described as “fair and efficient,” adding that she was handed the conditions set out by the judge.

I was hoping to be able to drop off and pick up my grandsons from school, but apparently that request will have to go to a judge under a variation application, so we’ll just leave everything as is for now,” she wrote.

Lich noted that she has another interview with her probation officer next week to “assess the level of risk I pose to re-offend.”

“It sounds like it’ll basically be a questionnaire to assess my mental state and any dangers I may pose to society,” she said.

While it is common for those on house arrest to have to ask for permission to leave their house, sometimes arrangements can be made otherwise.

On October 7, Ontario Court Justice Heather Perkins-McVey sentenced Lich and Chris Barber to 18 months’ house arrest after being convicted earlier in the year convicted of “mischief.”

Lich was given 18 months less time already spent in custody, amounting to 15 1/2 months.

As reported by LifeSiteNews, the Canadian government was hoping to put Lich in jail for no less than seven years and Barber for eight years for their roles in the 2022 protests against COVID mandates.

Lich said that her probation officer “informed me of the consequences should I breach these conditions, and I am not to leave the house, even for the approved ‘necessities of life’ without contacting her to let her know where I’ll be and for how long,” she wrote.

“She will then provide a letter stating I have been granted permission to be out in society. I’m to have my papers on my person at all times and ready to produce should I be pulled over or seen by law enforcement out and about.”

Lich said that the probation officer did print a letter “before I left, so I could stop at the optometrist and dentist offices on my way home.”

She said that her official release date is January 21, 2027, which she said amounts to “1,799 days after my initial arrest.”

As reported by LifeSiteNews, Lich, reflecting on her recent house arrest verdict, said she has no “remorse” and will not “apologize” for leading a movement that demanded an end to all COVID mandates.

LifeSiteNews reported that Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre offered his thoughts on the sentencing, wishing them a “peaceful” life while stopping short of blasting the sentence as his fellow MPs did.

In early 2022, the Freedom Convoy saw thousands of Canadians from coast to coast come to Ottawa to demand an end to COVID mandates in all forms. Despite the peaceful nature of the protest, Trudeau’s government enacted the never-before-used Emergencies Act (EA) on February 14, 2022.
