> that cloth masks have much more limited effectiveness than initially assumed

I recall multiple studies early on stating cloth masks were not effective and should be avoided if you have access to surgical or n95 masks.

My impression is that the (US) government didn't want to nuisance this discussion as it'd only open further criticism of mask mandates.
