The Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) is a secretive body which "advises" the UK government.
Contents
Activities
The group reportedly met nine times in February 2020 and 10 times in March 2020.
Secrecy
Membership of the group is not public, meetings are secret and minutes are not published, a regimen more typical of a deep state milieu than an ordinary government body, leading to concerns of a hidden agenda.
Calls for Transparency
"Sense About Science said academics shaping Downing Street's policies should be identified, with the minutes of behind closed doors minutes published and the data made public."
In April 2020 The Telegraph and The Guardian reported on the group.[1]
"Death threats"?
"The source said death threats had been sent to members of advisory groups feeding into Sage".[2]

| Ian Boyd | “What happens is that you get an email through or you get a calendar invite through which is a calling notice that says there’s gonna be a Sage at a particular time you’re invited to attend, and here’s the agenda.” | Ian Boyd | |
| Ian Boyd | “There’s an immense amount of interest outside from people who would love to get inside, and change what Sage is saying, and that must never ever be allowed to happen. Otherwise, the trust in the whole process will just evaporate. I think it is not ideal. In an ideal world you’d have complete transparency, but it’s not an ideal world. There’s a lot of what I would call dark forces who are trying to undermine the validity of the way that science works and as a result of that Sage has to be conducted in a way that makes sure that they don’t have that opportunity. And it’s difficult, and I don’t think anybody who sits on Sage or chairs Sage really wants it that way. But on the other hand, there is no real option other than to do it that way.” | Ian Boyd | 2020 |
| Ian Boyd | “I’m really, really adamant about that – one cannot have a public debate about what the science is saying and what it’s not saying.” | Ian Boyd | |
| Michael Yeadon | “Government’s response to emergencies is guided by the scientific group who sit together under the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies or SAGE. So they should provide scientific advice to the government about what’s appropriate to do. SAGE has got several things wrong, and that has led to advice that’s inappropriate and – uh, not only has had horrible economic effects, but has had continuing medical effects in that people are no longer being treated properly.” | Michael Yeadon | November 2020 |
| Michael Yeadon | “So why aren’t the media telling us that the pandemic is over? It’s not over because SAGE says it’s not. So SAGE consists of very many scientists, from a range of disciplines – mathematicians and clinicians – and there are multiple committees. But I found to my surprise – and I’m actually going to use the word – horror, that in the spring, all the way through the spring and summer, SAGE did not have on their committee someone who I would call a card-carrying immunologist; a clinical immunologist. I have to say I think that in the spring and summer SAGE was deficient in the expertise it had.” | Michael Yeadon | November 2020 |
