In a shocking revelation, Dr. Jay Varma, who served as a senior health advisor to then-Mayor Bill de Blasio during New York City’s COVID-19 pandemic response, has admitted to attending drug-fueled sex parties at the height of the pandemic. The confession, captured on a hidden camera, has sparked outrage due to his role in enforcing strict lockdown measures while secretly flouting them.
Dr. Varma boasted about attending underground gatherings where partygoers used drugs like MDMA (Ecstasy) and engaged in sexual activities. These events were reportedly held in hidden locations, including a dance party underneath a Wall Street bank, at a time when the city was under strict lockdown orders. “I had to be kind of sneaky about it,” Varma admitted, acknowledging that he feared the public backlash if his actions were discovered during the pandemic.

Varma’s actions are particularly galling given his prominent role in the city’s COVID response. He was instrumental in persuading Mayor de Blasio to implement a vaccine mandate and other restrictions aimed at curbing the spread of the virus. His public health measures forced businesses to close, banned large gatherings, and imposed indoor dining restrictions, while he privately engaged in activities that directly violated these protocols.
The former advisor revealed that he and his friends rented hotel rooms, took drugs, and engaged in orgies during these parties. “We were all rolling. We’re all taking Molly, and everybody’s high,” Varma stated. He noted that these parties were not "COVID-friendly" and that it would have been a major scandal if the public had known what was happening behind closed doors.
Former NIH Senior Advisor, Carrie Wolinetz, says that no censorship occurred during the COVID pandemic.

The revelation has drawn sharp criticism, particularly from those who endured the city’s tough lockdown measures. Many New Yorkers were restricted from seeing their families, attending funerals, or running their businesses, while public officials like Varma, who were supposed to set an example, acted with impunity. “It would have been a real embarrassment,” Varma admitted, knowing that his actions contradicted the strict mandates he had enforced.
This incident has reignited debates about the double standards displayed by public officials during the pandemic. Many leaders were caught violating their own COVID-19 restrictions, from California Governor Gavin Newsom attending a large dinner party to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visiting a salon during a statewide lockdown. However, Varma’s case stands out due to his direct involvement in crafting and enforcing New York City’s pandemic rules.
Varma’s admission has led to widespread condemnation, particularly from conservative commentators, who have long criticized the strict measures imposed by Democratic leaders during the pandemic. They argue that these officials pushed draconian restrictions on the public while privately disregarding them for personal gain. This latest scandal involving Varma is likely to fuel further distrust in government officials and the policies they promote.
As public health measures continue to be debated in the post-pandemic era, revelations like Varma’s are likely to shape discussions about government accountability and the enforcement of rules during crises. For now, New Yorkers are left grappling with the hypocrisy displayed by one of the key figures responsible for managing the city’s response to the worst public health crisis in modern history.
