Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving may have a litigious bone to pick with the city he used to play in.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s because Dr. Jay Varma \u2014 described by the New York Post<\/a> as \u201cthe man behind New York City\u2019s draconian COVID response under Bill de Blasio\u201d \u2014 was recently caught on camera, almost gleefully admitting he targeted Irving for being an \u201ca**.\u201d<\/p>\n The videos were shared by conservative pundit and content creator Steven Crowder<\/a>, who described Varma as the former \u201cNYC Covid Policy Architect.\u201d<\/p>\n You can watch the relevant video below:<\/p>\n WARNING: The following video contains language that some viewers may find offensive.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n BREAKING: Former NYC Covid Policy Architect Dr. Jay Varma Bragged About Being The Person Responsible For Blocking @KyrieIrving<\/a> From Playing Basketball For The @BrooklynNets<\/a> After Irving Refused To Take The Covid Vaccine<\/p>\n \u201cHe refused to get vaccinated.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s an ass.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cBecause\u2026 https:\/\/t.co\/ttZ77QdU2k<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/3VGV3LdAqd<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Steven Crowder (@scrowder) September 19, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n\n \u201cThere was a basketball player named Kyrie Irving,\u201d Varma began in the clip.<\/p>\n \u201cWho?\u201d asks the undercover journalist.<\/p>\n \u201cKyrie Irving,\u201d Varma repeated, removing all doubt about who he was talking about. \u201cHe refused to get vaccinated. But because he played for the team in Brooklyn, because of the vaccine mandates that I passed, he was not allowed to play.\u201d<\/p>\n Irving<\/a> played for the Brooklyn Nets from 2019 until a blockbuster 2023 trade that saw him go to the Mavs, due in part to the controversy he stirred over his vaccine refusal.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd so it became this huge national issue about why Kyrie Irving wasn\u2019t allowed to play basketball, because he was refusing to get vaccinated,\u201d Varma continued.<\/p>\n The seemingly proud doctor added: \u201cSo, like, this is a fun part of my life. So I got to be on\u2026 The Wall Street Journal wrote a whole story about me being the one that blocked Kyrie Irving from playing basketball.\u201d<\/p>\n The undercover video then cut to a different clip of Varma, in which the doctor denigrated Irving\u2019s character.<\/p>\n \u201cI just think he\u2019s asinine,\u201d Varma is seen saying. \u201cHe\u2019s an a**.\u201d<\/p>\n Varma then made a curious equivalency that he wouldn\u2019t tell Irving how to dribble or shoot a basketball.<\/p>\n \u201cDon\u2019t tell me, like, how the science works,\u201d Varma complained.<\/p>\n While the Irving video is unseemly enough (no public health officials should be targeting private citizens, \u201ca**\u201d or not), Varma may face much larger consequences, thanks to Crowder\u2019s sleuthing.<\/p>\n The other video captured by Crowder shows Varma bragging about how he wasn\u2019t beholden to any of the \u201cdraconian\u201d measures implemented by him, when the doctor basically admitted to partying at drug-fueled parties<\/a> during lockdowns, according to the Post.<\/p>\n \u201cI did all this deviant, like sexual stuff while I was like, you know, like on TV and stuff. People were like, \u2018Aren\u2019t you afraid? Aren\u2019t you embarrassed?\u2019 and I was like, \u2018No, actually, I\u2019m like, I love being my authentic self,\u201d Varma said.<\/p>\n The Post absolutely excoriated Varma.<\/p>\n \u201cThat he will stay out of prison, where he belongs like all corrupt public servants, is obscene; that he will keep his medical license is an enormity,\u201d the article from the New York Post\u2019s editorial board read.<\/p>\n It continued: \u201cBut Dr. Varma has nonetheless done America a massive favor.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s shown yet again that our progressive public health \u2018experts\u2019 are duplicitous narcissists who deserve eternal condemnation, not trust.\u201d<\/p>\n This article appeared originally on The Western Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n The post NBA Superstar Kyrie Irving Was Gleefully Targeted by Vaccine Fanatic: New Video<\/a> appeared first on The Gateway Pundit<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving may have a litigious bone to pick with the city he used to<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-35365","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"\n
