But, at the same time, he attended sex parties and a dance party, indulgences that made a mockery of everything he preached to New Yorkers.<\/p>\n<p>His hypocrisy was exposed this week by undercover recordings made by conservative podcaster Steven Crowder. Varma declared on Thursday:<strong> \u201cI take responsibility for not using the best judgment at the time.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That statement is a great consolation to everyone whose rights and liberties were nullified during the pandemic. In the undercover recordings, Varma <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/scrowder\/status\/1836784805368705104\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bragged about brutalizing<\/a> people into submission:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cI\u2019m gonna make it really fu*king hard to be unvaccinated.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cI actually was the one who convinced the Mayor to make it a mandate[vaccine].\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cYou can\u2019t get a job, you can\u2019t go to a restaurant, your kids can\u2019t go to school&#8230;it\u2019s like fu*k it, I\u2019m just going to get vaccinated.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Varma\u2019s takedown should spur a re-examination of how idiotic and oppressive governments became during the pandemic. Politicians and petty czars canceled Thanksgivings and other holidays across the nation. In lieu of family gatherings, they offered endless idiotic advice for \u201csafe sex\u201d during Covid.<\/p>\n<p>Gov. Andrew Cuomo denounced anyone who disobeyed his edicts, including condemning sheriffs as \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/state-watch\/527263-cuomo-calls-a-sheriff-who-wont-enforce-mask-mandate-a-dictator\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dictators<\/a>\u201d for refusing to enforce his mask mandate inside people\u2019s homes. But other officials in New York give their blessings to behavior which was reckless even by \u201cwoke\u201d standards. The New York City Health Department recommended that people who organize orgies, \u201cIf <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nyc.gov\/assets\/doh\/downloads\/pdf\/imm\/covid-sex-guidance.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">you do attend<\/a> (sex orgies), follow COVID-19 precautions. \u201d The guidance hinted that nothing was better than a rooftop: \u201cPick larger, more open, and well-ventilated spaces.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, New York City\u2019s deputy health commissioner, boasted, \u201cOur health department has a really strong record of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/06\/11\/well\/live\/coronavirus-sex-dating-masks.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">being very sex positive<\/a>.\u201d At the same time that New York cops violently assaulted people for not wearing face masks, the city government officially sanctioned \u201cglory holes.\u201d The Big Apple\u2019s health department urged people to \u201cbe creative with\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/06\/11\/well\/live\/coronavirus-sex-dating-masks.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">physical barriers, like walls,<\/a> that allow sexual contact while preventing close face-to-face contact.\u201d That salacious advice was not included in Gov. Cuomo\u2019s self-tribute bestseller, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08F4J56ZT\/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&amp;btkr=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>American Crisis: Leadership Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of meeting sex partners online, city Health Department recommended, \u201cVideo dates, sexting, subscription-based fan platforms, <a href=\"https:\/\/www1.nyc.gov\/assets\/doh\/downloads\/pdf\/imm\/covid-sex-guidance.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sexy \u2018Zoom parties\u2019<\/a> or chat rooms may be options for you.\u201d So maybe invite Jeffrey Toobin to your Zoom party?

Many of the \u201cchat rooms\u201d that bureaucrats recommended were stocked with jailbait, police and FBI agents masquerading and <a href=\"https:\/\/reason.com\/2019\/10\/21\/sarasota-county-sheriff-office-entrap-underage-teen-sex\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">looking to entrap people<\/a> for underage sex or other offenses.\u00a0Maybe someone should ask Jeff Bezos about the alleged <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-6706371\/Jeff-Bezos-discussed-marriage-Lauren-Sanchez-sent-20-dick-pics-tried-buy-American-Media.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">emailed pictures<\/a> of his anatomy?<\/p>\n<p>Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf decreed on November 17, 2020 that people must <a href=\"https:\/\/pjmedia.com\/news-and-politics\/matt-margolis\/2020\/11\/18\/pennsylvania-governor-mandates-mask-wearing-in-your-own-home-n1156454\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wear masks in their own homes<\/a> whenever someone visits who does not live in that household. But horizontal rules were laxer. The Pennsylvania Department of Health issued a \u201cSafer Sex and COVID-19\u201d guide with suggestions for \u201cif you attend a large gathering where you might end up having sex.\u201d \u201cMight end up having sex\u201d sounded akin to an act of God beyond the control of anyone in the vicinity.<\/p>\n<p>Pennsylvania bureaucrats suggested that orgy attendees \u201climit the number of partners\u201d and \u201ctry to identify a consistent sex partner.\u201d Consistently what? The Philadelphia Board of Health urged prostitutes to \u201cshower thoroughly after each client and change clothes\u201d and wash hands \u201cwith soap and water for at least 20 seconds.\u201d But small business owners were not allowed to keep their stores open no matter how long they washed their hands.<\/p>\n<p>Wacky Covid sex advice cascaded out of other bureaucracies, including the San Francisco Department of Health, which recommended people limit themselves to \u201csex with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sfcdcp.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/COVID-19_Tips-for-Safer-Sex_FINAL_COVID-19-Sexual-Health-Tips_09.05.2020.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">small, stable<\/a> group of partners outdoors.\u201d Did the local officials expect such displays would boost the tourist business? Perhaps given the likelihood of deranged spectators on Market Street, San Francisco bureaucrats stressed, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sfcdcp.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/COVID-19_Tips-for-Safer-Sex_FINAL_COVID-19-Sexual-Health-Tips_09.05.2020.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Quicker can be better<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Vermont Department of Health captured the ethos of many health departments across the nation: \u201cDecisions about sex and sexuality need to be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthvermont.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/documents\/pdf\/COVID-19-Safer-Sex-Tips.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">balanced with personal and public<\/a> health.\u201d Covid superstar Anthony Fauci reflected that judgment when he declared that those who meet strangers for sex via Tinder or other dating apps are entitled to make their <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2020\/04\/15\/fauci-endorses-tinder-hookups-with-a-caveat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cchoice regarding a risk<\/a>.\u201d But Fauci was happy to help ravage people\u2019s lives to force them to get injected: \u201cIt\u2019s been proven that when you make it difficult for people in their lives, they lose their <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Simply4Truth_\/status\/1836808205336527005\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ideological bullshit<\/a>, and they get vaccinated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But neither Fauci, Varma, nor any other official ever explained why the standards for permitted sexual contacts were far looser than the edicts for businesses, schools, or religious gatherings. A<strong> \u201ccopulation exemption\u201d to the de facto Covid cancellation of the Bill of Rights made no sense. There was no reason to treat carnal relations as legally superior to capitalist acts between consenting adults, attending worship services, or sending kids to school<\/strong>. <strong>The latest Covid scandal is a reminder that when politicians are permitted to selectively nullify freedom, the injustices will be exceeded only by the absurdities.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Covid Czar Scandal Is Reminder of Boundless Idiocy and Hypocrisy of the Covid Regime by James Bovard, September 24, 2024\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Remember when government officials sanctioned orgies but insisted it was too risky to permit children to attend classes to learn how to read?
