> Brix was visibly shaken
Think of Brix and Fauci as lobbyists for big Pharma as Trump opens the door to new cures on live TV.
They're going to be exposed.
I also think the press seating arrangement involves some sort of signal system. POTUS screwed that up by trying to move the CNN reporter, then not taking any questions.
So the disinfectant stuff the day before surprised Birx because she didn't know it was coming. It may have been a tactic to smoke them out. Press then went off on all the crazy chugging Lysol bullshit.
Remember when Chanel Rion was given guest access a couple of times? Wasn't she standing to the side in the front where she could see both the stage and the reporters? I think she was brought in to "steal the signs". She's a smart cookie (Harvard) and worked with Rudy in the Ukraine.
Crazy, perhaps, but who knows nowadays?
