There was an interesting exchange that occurred off-camera but on a “hot mic” between White House reporter John Roberts and “techs” just before yesterday’s White House Corona briefing.
Before Trump came out, Roberts was speaking with technicians about Coronavirus and their conversation was picked up by the room audio.
The chat started with Roberts discussing mortality rates. He appears to reference a USC study – which I believe has something to do with comparing the flu and coronavirus.
You can hear one gentleman speaking loudly comment on the numbers Roberts was sharing, and he then says that everyone in the room had already been “vaccinated.”
Some people are suggesting he was referring to the coronavirus. Personally, I think he was referring to the flu.
But you listen and be the judge.
You can watch the video below:

For me, the more interesting part of the conversation is about the corona CRISIS (not the virus) being a “hoax.”

As the men discuss the numbers – which have shifted and been downgraded significantly from where they originally were – the man chuckles and says “so, it’s a hoax,” referencing the “crisis” numbers that resulted in this massive shutdown.
The second video below is enhanced so you can hear the “hoax” part more clearly.

You listen to both videos and be the judge.
