The London Telegraph reported the comments made by Members of the Scientific Pandemic Influenza Group on Behaviour (SPI-B), a sub-committee of the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage) the government's chief scientific advisory group.

The report quotes a briefing from March 2020, as the first lockdown was decreed, that stated the government should drastically increase "the perceived level of personal threat" that the virus poses because "a substantial number of people still do not feel sufficiently personally threatened".

One scientist with the SPI-B admits that "In March [2020] the Government was very worried about compliance and they thought people wouldn't want to be locked down. There were discussions about fear being needed to encourage compliance, and decisions were made about how to ramp up the fear."

The unnamed scientist adds that "The way we have used fear is dystopian."

The scientist further confessed that "The use of fear has definitely been ethically questionable. It's been like a weird experiment. Ultimately, it backfired because people became too scared."

Another separate scientist on the subcommittee professed "You could call psychology 'mind control'. That's what we do… clearly we try and go about it in a positive way, but it has been used nefariously in the past."

Another scientist warned that "We have to be very careful about the authoritarianism that is creeping in," adding "people use the pandemic to grab power and drive through things that wouldn't happen otherwise."

Use of fear to control behaviour in Covid crisis was ‘totalitarian’, admit scientists

Members of Scientific Pandemic Influenza Group on Behaviour express regret about ‘unethical’ methods

Both sides suffer from mass psychosis it seems.

This is why the antichrist will mesmerize the masses by making a balloon animal.

Mass psychosis comes straight from the net as people allow others to do their thinking for them.

That statement holds somewhat true, but in certain situations it's best to let qualified individuals do the thinking.

Thank you for posting this for me, I wasn't sure what I should think about this whole thing.

Being different is great, until the other neanderthals kick you out of the tribe and you get eaten by a wooly mammoth

I'm off to convince the wife I need a "wooly mammoth gun" I'm sure she will be cool with it.

I knew you would figure it out for yourself if you had the time

I'm in the lower 30%. Fighting back is futile when you are surrounded by the 70%.

1) "That statement holds somewhat true, but in certain situations it's best to let qualified individuals do the thinking."
I have never asked somebody else to do my thinking for me. That's the mindset of a medieval serf and I am no one's vassal.

2) "I'm off to convince the wife I need a "wooly mammoth gun" I'm sure she will be cool with it."
The Neanderthals used an atlatl. Now that took a REAL MAN!

The four letter word driving the psychosis is FEAR. Once the masses were sent home for 15 days to flatten the curve it was easy to isolate people and fill them with fear.

We have gone from a nation of freedom to a nation of fear.

A nation of misinformation and Facebook scientists doing their own research for the betterment of none.

Now that is an excellent rebuttal. Why didn't I think of that?

You're free to perform your own surgeries, design your own bridges, and develop vaccines if you so choose. Or are there those better suited/trained to do so? Is being told to wear a seat belt an infringement of freedom, or is it because that one reckless behavior can endanger the other occupants of the vehicle?

Eerily prophetic. Granted its UK setting but.. a lot of things rhyme with V for Vendetta in 2006
