Original Note:
The CDC never stated cloth masks "don't work", but did state they stop fewer COVID-19 droplets compared to other, better masks. https://journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/msphere.00637-20?permanently=true More peer-reviewed research came out in March 2021 about mask type and effectiveness. https://www.factcheck.org/2021/03/scicheck-the-evolving-science-of-face-masks-and-covid-19/
