It appears the dam is finally about to break and we’ll finally see health professionals admit what we’ve known all along: “cloth masks have almost no impact on transmission whatsoever, and we basically have known that the entire time.”
From Johns Hopkins’ Dr. Marty Makary:

But it was a noble lie, they’ll say!

It would have been better if Dr. Anthony Fauci and everyone else just stayed with the facts at the beginning:
Of course we knew it. When the pivot from the March 2020 don’t wear masks, they don’t work narrative changed from people like Fauci to “ we lied to save health care workers,” if that were true they would have recommended cloth masks. They didn’t because cloth masks never worked. https://t.co/Lq84dKipHp

And we’ll point out that much of this nonsense can be traced back to Trump administration officials, like then CDC Director Robert Redfield:
