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.

Rubbish Old Boy. The Government ignored advice on lockdowns 1 and 2. These are matters of public record.
What is fanciful is the idea that the Chief Medical Officer, or Chief Scientific Adviser, could or would go public and make statements that actively contradict Government policy as agreed by Ministers.
You are greatly over-complicating the situation to allow yourself to claim that the Government have been blameless at all times. Over lockdowns, PPE, billions for Dido Harding’s non-functioning contract tracing... always someone else to blame.
