Over 120 000 Americans have died from COVID in the last few months, that's more than died during the Korean and Vietman wars put together - this is a pandemic.
To quell your conspiratorial concerns about 'masks' you need only visit most of the rest of the world and find out, particularly in close-quarters E. Asian countries, they've been doing it for some time.
Nobody is suggesting they are perfect, the messaging has been mixed, and we're not exactly sure of their efficiency, all of those things are allowed when supporting a 'pro mask' policy.
America has been losing the battle against COVID while E. Asian countries have been doing very well, and most of the rest of the world is doing 'OK' - popular US debate is the most ridiculous, least credible place for facts.
The CDC has some integrity, but this is a global phenom and literally everywhere else with integrity is taking this seriously.
People are not bing 'lied to' about masks, they're getting mixed messages because the issue is inherently grey.
