Not necessarily - scientists don’t get a blank cheque to create policy. A specialist group on pandemic preparedness could, theoretically based on their experience, have further interrogated scientific outputs and the evidence base. Perhaps leading to different outcomes based on their internal knowledge of Government preparedness.
There’s no blanket and uniform “the science”.
