Remember Jay Varma? He just wrote an Op-Ed claiming he shouldn't have been shamed for his COVID sex parties
A few months ago, Former NYC Covid Czar Dr. Jay Varma admitted to having drug-fueled sex parties during the Panny D and it definitely “was not Covid-friendly.”
Varma has since published an op-ed in The Daily Beast, essentially blaming the messenger, while having the audacity to call this a “fallacious campaign to destroy trust.” However, that makes no sense because even to his admission, this was not fallacious and his best excuse is to attack the people who exposed him as the hypocritical buffoon he is.
The op-ed is pathetic, to say the least, and something tells me he will not be participating in any live discussions on the show. Nonetheless, he is nothing more than an unelected wannabe tyrant who could not be more hypocritical if he tried.
Eh, I tend to think the shame was justified, but we're happy to have you on the show to let you make your case.

He starts his article by attempting to appear as if he began his “public service” career by doing everything he could “to prevent infectious diseases and stop deadly outbreaks.”
In August 2020, we gathered with eight other close friends—all members of our “pod”—for an intimate party. We all had negative PCR tests 48 hours before gathering. We verified that we had no COVID symptoms at the time we gathered and tracked each other’s symptoms for the following week. No one in the group contracted COVID. In early November, we participated in a nearly identical gathering, with the same outcome.
However, according to his admission, that party “was not Covid-friendly” and he “did all this deviant, sexual stuff while [he] was you know, like on TV and stuff.” He further claimed that that was the only way he could blow off steam, as the experts demanded your grandparents die alone.
He then says a bunch of gobbledygook, as he believes rehashing a timeline of COVID restrictions from years ago is his best defense. He also proceeded to discuss his marital affairs, as if this was what any of it was about.
The crux of his case was my confession in the videos that “I had to be kind of sneaky about it”—meaning the intimate gathering in August—and that people would be upset if they found out. I was following the rules on how many people could gather and the public guidance on how to reduce risk, but I was trying to hide my unconventional marriage and sexual choices.
I want to be clear that I did make serious errors in judgment. In conversations with someone I only recently met, I betrayed the trust of people close to me by sharing details of my personal life and of my work in government and the private sector. I spoke without empathy and thoughtful consideration of complex issues, reinforcing a stereotype that public health officials are indifferent to negative economic and social consequences of their policies. I profoundly regret how this carelessness harmed family, friends, and colleagues.
That is the best he could do, as he then proceeds to bash you for taking his actual recorded testimony over his fake apology months later.
But I was shocked that major outlets simply accepted Crowder’s version. A simple timeline that plots New York’s COVID-19 rules against my private activities and public statements makes clear that his central claim, that I was a hypocrite who broke COVID gathering rules, is wrong. Crowder and other online political extremists pair deceptive practices with fallacious conclusions. It created a distorted narrative that major outlets spread, amplifying contempt for health experts and agencies.
In other words, how dare you believe videos published by MugClub after Crowder got more things correct about the Panny D than the experts could even imagine?
And the dumbest thing he probably said in that article was that he would not have been shamed had he "gathered with nine friends to watch sports or play board games." Yes, he would and it's doubtful that board games spread COVID in the same way as being "naked with friends” in a room does.
Additionally, was there any policy or advice promoted by Varma that actually ended up doing more good than harm? Because I have yet to see how he can defend the restrictions that proved to be arbitrary, at best.
While my situation is exceptional, it is also a story about an erosion of trust in America that threatens our ability to survive crises. In my field, outbreaks and pandemics end when people act together to change behavior, support others in their community, and get treated or vaccinated.
So why did COVID only get worse the more these “people acted together to change behavior, support others in their community, and get treated or vaccinated?”
He then goes on to claim that you should not shame his sex parties because Bird Flu is a thing and if you don’t listen to the same experts who got everything wrong, then that will cause “even more economic damage than COVID or the Great Recession did.”
I regret that I have now played a part in the erosion of trust. I hope that by an honest reckoning with my errors and a plain assertion of truth I can contribute a small piece toward its restoration.
I don’t think there is anyone who currently despises him who will now forgive him for how he “played a part in the erosion of trust.”
Do you think he would have “apologized” had he never admitted to having COVID-19 sex parties that were definitely “not Covid-friendly?” Because something seems to imply otherwise.
That being said, if the policies Varma promoted worked, why did they not work?
