NYC pol demands ex-COVID czar Jay Varma’s medical license be revoked: ‘Prevent further harm’

A Queens pol is demanding the state Department of Health revoke the medical license of NYC’s disgraced ex-COVID czar Dr. Jay Varma.

“Dr. Varma’s actions betrayed public trust…which is in direct violation of a medical professional’s responsibility,” wrote Republican Councilwoman Vickie Paladino in a Sept. 26 letter to the agency.

Some critics, such as Councilwoman Joann Ariola, have accused the ex-COVID czar of perjuring himself by repeatedly testifying under oath that vaccination was the only way to stop the spread of coronavirus, while in the clips posted by podcaster Steven Crowder’s “Mug Club,” Varma confessed natural immunity is as good as the jab.

Varma could not be reached for comment, but in a previous statement said the footage released is “spliced, diced, and taken out of context.”
