Masks: "they do more harm than good and the decision to mandate them for healthy people in the community was introduced as a psychological control method"

In addition to their recognition of the ethically dubious nature of covert ‘nudges’, a SAGE insider, Dr. Gavin Morgan, also offered support to HART’s view on masks: that is, that they do more harm than good and the decision to mandate them for healthy people in the community was introduced as a psychological control method rather than a means of reducing viral transmission. The UCL educational psychologist was energetically opposed to masks from the outset of the crisis, describing them as ‘dehumanizing,’ but ultimately his view didn’t count as some SPI-B members liked masks because they conveyed a message of ‘solidarity.'
