Because one of the first things the CDC did was lie to the American people about the effectiveness of homemade masks on purpose.
Do you have evidence they knew what they said was false and not just the best available truth at the time or a simplified version for easier public understanding?
Glad you asked. Fauci admitted they lied because they were worried about the potential of PPE shortages.
He said they weren't recommended, not because they weren't effective, but because they were needed elsewhere (rationing and triaging).
Yeah, after. that's the lie.
