I don't know whether what you're saying is true but I would say there needs to be a clear distinction between "Scientists" who are part of academia and the scientists who work for the Dept of Health and help inform government policy (as best as they are able). For example I don't think Sir Professor Chris Whitty is capable of having an agenda like you describe.
And herein lies the disaster of the culture wars. Politicised, activist led academia has led to a collapse in trust in information undermining faith in the medical sciences when we need it most. When you come from the first generation after the (near) eradication of TB to hear younger work colleagues say they're not taking the vaccine because they 'don't know what's in it' is really quite saddening.
