“If nyc found out you were having sex parties during covid?“Yeah, it would’ve been a real embarrassment.”

In those private conversations that were secretly recorded, spliced, diced, and taken out of context, I referred to events that transpired four years ago. During that time, I participated in two private gatherings. I take responsibility for not using the best judgment at the time. Facing the greatest public health crisis in a century, our top priority was to save lives, and every decision made was based on the best available science to keep New Yorkers safe. I stand by my efforts to get New Yorkers vaccinated against COVID-19, and I reject dangerous extremist efforts to undermine the public’s confidence in the need for and effectiveness of vaccines.”

FOLLOWING THE VIDEO’S RELEASE –

DR. VARMA WAS FIRED FROM HIS POSITION AS VICE PRESIDENT AND “CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICER” AT “SIGA (SEE-GUH) TECHNOLOGIES” –

CONFIRMED IN AN S-E-C FILING MONDAY.
