You’re quoting one man on Government payroll and giving that greater weight than the scientific advisory groups the Government appointed to give advice. Ministers make decisions based on (or against) that advice at their own discretion.
The medical establishment has been looking in different directions on this, and Whitty advised as he advised. His arguments were the ones taken into account.

SAGE may have thought differently at another point in time, but there were many other factors that had to be taken into account, and not all of them were medical issues. You are over-simplifying this to an extraordinary level to try and win your unfounded argument. But to try to paint a picture that the government was not listening to medical and other professional advice is just fanciful.
