“Our most sacred rights were interfered with,” Laura Dodsworth says of the COVID-19 lockdowns.
In a recent episode of “American Thought Leaders,” host Jan Jekielek speaks with writer and filmmaker Laura Dodsworth about the ways governments in the UK and beyond have used subliminal methods to secretly manipulate the public, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Dodsworth is the author of “A State of Fear: How the UK Government Weaponised Fear During the COVID-19 Pandemic.”
Jan Jekielek: “A State of Fear” focuses on how the UK government used fear to incentivize the population.
Laura Dodsworth: The lockdown was a tough, authoritarian, and unprecedented measure, and you could smell the fear in the air. The 23rd of March, when Boris Johnson made his stern address to the nation that we must stay at home, is what put the fear into me.
