1/ SAGE minutes still redact names of attendees (including a scientific adviser)
But since July, it’s been the #JointBiosecurityCentre that shapes #COVID19 strategy
Run by Tom Hurd (MI6) then Clare Gardner (GCHQ), the #JBC hasn’t released ANY minutes or named ANY of its members

2/. SAGE’s advice is fed to the secretive #JointBiosecurityCentre who often seem to ignore it
In Sept, SAGE’s call for a circuit-breaker lockdown was ignored
SAGE has been sidelined since the took over #COVID19 strategy

3/. The #JointBiosecurityCentre, was launched as a £9 billion directorate of @DHSCgovuk, on 1 June 2020

4/. Ystdy, after 4 delays, @EinsteinsAttic finally received a response to a FOI request
It claims the #JointBiosecurityCentre doesn’t need an ‘establishing document’ as it is part of NHS Test & Trace

5/. “Hiding a £9 billion ‘directorate’, set up by spooks, behind a mere ‘service’ - however massive that service may be -must be breaking all sorts of govt/civil service rules.”
