Dr. Jay Varma, widely known as New York City’s “COVID czar” during the pandemic, has been fired from his job at the pharmaceutical company SIGA Technologies after his recent admission that he attended drug-fueled sex parties while ordering mandates for taxpayers.

Varma was the senior advisor for public health under former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio. He is credited with designing the city’s draconian COVID response, which included harsh lockdowns, quarantines, and vaccine mandates.

But while New Yorkers were forced to attend family funerals over Zoom, Varma was attending orgies and dance parties with his wife while loaded with drugs. The physician was outed in footage last week taken by an undercover reporter from Steven Crowder’s Mug Club Undercover. The operative filmed Varma on hidden camera during several meetings between July and August this year.

In the footage, Varma repeatedly boasts about how he was the architect of New York City’s COVID-19 response, even convincing de Blasio to decree vaccine mandates.

In one clip, he recounts how he and his wife and around eight others had an orgy in a hotel room.

“My wife and I had one with our friends in August [2020] of like that first summer . . . So we rented a hotel . . . we all took, like, you know, molly [MDMA] and like it was like eight or nine or us, eight to 10 of us were in a room and everybody had a blast because everybody was like so pent up.”

“I had to be kind of sneaky about it . . . because I was running the entire COVID response in the city,” he added.
