The Shadowy Group That Brought Mask Mandates to the U.K.

Advocates of mask mandates during the pandemic have suppressed the inconvenient truth about face masks: that they achieve no appreciable reduction in viral transmission, writes Dr. Gary Sidley.
Pro-mask crusader Prof Trish Greenhalgh recently plumbed new depths of distortion and misinformation in her mission to force humankind to hide their faces behind strips of cloth or plastic, writes Dr. Gary Sidley.
In our supposedly liberal and transparent democratic country, it seems that it was a group of remote and unnamed scientists, outside of SAGE, who effectively imposed masks on British citizens, writes Dr Gary Sidley.
An article in the journal Nature has praised the use of covert psychological strategies, aka propaganda, to induce compliance during the Covid pandemic and called for a redoubling next time. Why?
We must never forget what our politicians and public health 'experts' inflicted upon us, writes Dr Gary Sidley. If the guilty are not named and shamed, the same totalitarian impositions will be repeated again and again.
Dr Gary Sidley sets out the case for why facemasks against COVID-19 are ineffective and harmful and mask mandates in healthcare settings must be dropped without delay.
In March 2020, Chief Medical Officer Chris Whitty said people should not wear face masks because they don't work. Then he said they might work a bit. Then, with no new evidence, he supported making them compulsory. Why?

Anyone reluctant to wear a face covering risks being challenged by others: “It’s only a mask”; “It’s no big deal”; “If it prevents just one infection, it’s worth it”. These comments are based on the premise that healthy people have nothing to lose from donning a mask when moving around their communities, but they fail to recognise an important truth: Masking the healthy is not, and has never been, a benign intervention. Anyone remotely sceptical may already know that, prior to June 2020, public health organisations and their experts did not endorse masking healthy people in the community as a means of reducing viral transmission and that, in the real world, mask mandates or the lack thereof appear to have made no discernible difference to the spread of coronavirus. Famously, the decision of Texas to ditch their mask mandates was called “Neanderthal thinking” by President Biden – only for the Lone Star State to witness declining...
