One such drug-fueled party was in the basement of a Wall Street bank. Oh, really?
Was there an upstairs meeting first?
Because in April 2020, long before the mandates, but in the middle of the proclaimed crisis, 1.4 million health care workers across the country were laid off, including, IIRC, 250,000 in New York alone.
Think of the profits! No wonder there was a party.
What about the NYC decision to refuse to use the hospital ship and the Javits Center emergency covid treatment center the Feds had fully staffed?
I remember watching a Zoom call with employees in a swamped hospital in NYC, complaining about how overworked and overwhelmed they were with patients, while the head doctor at the Javits Center said that they had medical staff from all over the country, from pulmonary specialists to radiology, infectious disease, and many others who had nothing to do, so they were playing Candy Crush on their phones!
"Send us your patients", he said. "We're ready for them".
But the city refused to transfer patients to those places. Why?
I think we know. It was to make Trump look bad.
Who made that decision? It had to be someone in the city government.
Meanwhile, the media hounded Trump daily, berating him for the "ventilator shortage", and blaming him for the ventilator deficiency deaths. He eventually got Detroit to produce ventilators, but by then doctors had already figured out that ventilating a covid patient did more harm than good.
One of those doctors on the Zoom call also did a video in which he was puzzling about why intubating and ventilating a covid patient was worthless.
Then someone made the decision to get Congress to pass the CARES Act, which gave hospitals a $35,000 bonus for every ventilated patient.
Were the orgy participants celebrating that windfall, also?
There was a lot of damage done in early 2020, long before the more substantial damage done in 2021.
Maybe Varma should be indicted, and offered a lighter sentence if he turns state's evidence about how many people were involved, and how much profit was being raked in.
Oh, I forgot. The New York judiciary is openly and proudly corrupt.
