It doesn't say they don't work. It just says "does not recommend." Absolutely misleading, and we should know better than to assume they have our best interests in mind.
It's true, that's why they didn't want the general public to wear them. They said as much elsewhere. Long story short, the CDC has been doing a very, very shitty job communicating vital info to us during this whole thing. Can you imagine if this pandemic was a virus that is 100x more deadly, like ebola or something? We'd all be fucked. CDC should be gutted and their leadership all fired.
"And why was there a shortage? Didn't china buy up the supply before the rest of the world knew about the virus? Why is there a surplus now? Did dozens of governors make billion dollar deals to buy masks from CHYNA?"
The thing that gets me about that is we were being told to not even use homemade cloth masks. They weren't shown to work and might even increase risk because people wouldn't know to wash them and they'd hold onto particles. Hell, I know healthcare facilities in my local area that were short on normal masks such that they wouldn't even let staff use them for patients who they'd been required for previously, and those facilities outright prohibited fabric masks being used as a "better than nothing" option.
Now places are still telling people to not wear any hospital tier masks but mandating cloth face coverings and disposable masks too cheap for healthcare worker use. Did we also have a shortage of fabric scraps? If not, why the fuck were they not pushing those from the start?
I feel like people miss the real message here that the government doesn't care about you and will lie to you to protect someone that they think is more valuable than you.

Exactly. Truth doesn’t matter to these people. It’s all about power and control.
Masks are like the TSA: normies believe they work, but actually they are security theater, to make people feel safe.

POTUS is starting the process.
We've dumped the WHO.
And now he's asked states to report covid figures to the government and bypass the CDC.

Isn't this true though?
