New York City's former COVID czar Dr. Jay Varma was caught on hidden camera bragging about attending drug-fueled sex parties with his wife during the pandemic. Varma doesn't deny that he partied during the pandemic, but says that his shocking comments were taken out of context. "I had to be kind of sneaky about it… because I was running the entire COVID response in the city," Varma says in one clip. In one scathing clip, a woman asks Varma: "Do you think you would have been given a hard time if "New York City found out [he] was having sex parties during COVID?" The identity of the woman Varma was speaking to, where he met up with her, and the nature of their relationship were all unclear.
