As one of the reasons. They also (according to Time) gave the reason that they don't prevent you from getting Covid:
>The science, according to the CDC, says that surgical masks won’t stop the wearer from inhaling small airborne particles, which can cause infection.
>Doctors and health experts keep spreading the word. “Seriously people- STOP BUYING MASKS!” tweeted Dr. Jerome Adams, the U.S. Surgeon General, on Feb. 29. “They are NOT effective in preventing general public from catching #Coronavirus, but if healthcare providers can’t get them to care for sick patients, it puts them and our communities at risk!”

- mike00632 5y agoYou're still being dishonest when you leave out that THE CDC SAID AT THE TIME THAT THEIR CURRENT RECOMMENDATIONS WERE BASED ON THE A AVAILABILITY OF MASKS TO MEDICAL WORKERS. The CDC states what their rational is, they update their recommendations with new information, and they act in the public interest. Anti-vaxxers do none of those.
- Thorrez 5y agoI don't think I left that out. I said "one of the reasons" the CDC gave was scarcity of masks for medical workers. I also quoted "but if healthcare providers can’t get them to care for sick patients, it puts them and our communities at risk!" So I don't think I was being dishonest.
