The anti-mask “propaganda” was obviously an only partially successful effort to preserve the supply of masks for first responders. If the CDC/WHO and came out and said everyone wear masks in the beginning of march the supply would have spiked harder and faster than it already did, likely resulting in more health care worker fatalities.

Not only does this destroy whatever credibility they had with the public, but it also shields government and health officials who failed to stockpile enough masks for inevitable outbreaks and offshored our medical productive capacity to China from accountability (making it more likely we will face the same shortages during the next, inevitable crisis).
