All press is good press when it comes to New York City and COVID…
23 September 2024
Today [23 September 2024] 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 and disregard for laws around illicit substances in full view and keep Operation COVID in the news cycles, which I appreciate. 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 and sold.
I say “alleged” because there’s a part of me that watches the videos and sees and 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…
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. 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.
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?”
UPDATE: 28 April 2026
As expected, nothing much came of the Jay Varma limited hangout.
Yes, he was fired from SIGA Technologies, where he was serving as Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer. But he’s been in similar role at FedCap since January 2026, writes a weekly newsletter for HealthBeat, and hosts a YouTube channel focused on public health and infectious diseases.
Varma’s professional history (available on his website) makes clear he wasn’t a run-of-mill hypocrite. His pre-COVID resume is that of someone deeply-rooted in Disease-Threat-Emergency operations and can be read as a Proof-of-Concept Exercise Timeline, with stints in the CDC Epidemic Intelligence Service, as a CDC adviser to China, in NYC disease-control leadership during Ebola, Zika, measles, meningitis, and Legionnaires’ episodes, and with Africa CDC and WHO-committee work.
Perhaps the most interesting detail in Varma’s biography is that, just before he returned to New York City, he was helping develop a continent-wide COVID strategy for Africa — a continent that, despite extraordinary early alarm, never became the COVID mass-casualty zone global-health authorities warned it might become.
Moving from helping “prepare” Africa for a catastrophe scenario that largely did not materialize to helping “manage” a reported onslaught of nearly ten times the World Trade Center disaster in excess deaths raises the question of what Varma helped put in place for Africa that didn’t “work” in New York.
The real scandal, however, isn’t that Jay Varma (allegedly) broke rules he helped impose. It’s that deaths in New York were used to justify extremely harmful measures and mandates both in the city and around the world, still have not been verified with basic proof, and continue to evade formal investigation and accountability.
