This is utter, complete nonsense. Most people don't wash their hands properly either, but we tell people to do it because even washing hands poorly is better than not. Even "fools" wearing masks wrong would help more than not having them at all. The parent is right: was pure, transparent, bullshit. If they were intending to preserve masks for healthcare workers, then just say that. Telling people they don't work was not just stupid, it was dangerous and almost certainly made the situation worse. Don't lie to people about their health.
