“the CDC came up with its no-masks policy years ago, long before there was any supply shortage.” Some evidence that the CDC, like so many others, are not strategically misleading us. It’s more likely that they are deeply confused, which is worse.https://slatestarcodex.com/2020/03/23/face-masks-much-more-than-you-wanted-to-know/ …

Confused ≠ incompetence, tho only somewhat less terrifying. The actual studies are confusing, and a solid RCT would be unethical in the extreme. The rational response IMO is to assume (a) that masks work, so wear them and (b) that they don't work, so take all other precautions

Could you please point me to the confusing studies, I only know the nonconfusing ones.
