The United Kingdom and other governments around the world used covert psychological methods during the COVID-19 pandemic to manipulate and control the public, says filmmaker and author Laura Dodsworth.
In the course of the investigation for her book, “A State of Fear: How the UK Government Weaponized Fear During the COVID-19 Pandemic,” Dodsworth said she found that the UK government’s “nudge” unit purposefully deployed fear to make the public comply with things such as extended lockdowns and vaccinations.
