Yes, the messaging ranged from "they don't work" to "they make things worse." The latter never had any scientific basis but gets repeated to this day.https://twitter.com/Fly_Agaric/status/1262072335315562496 …

As usual, all of that gets mixed together. To this day, anti-maskers cite the old articles (especially the ones that falsely said masks make things worse), screenshots of CDC guidelines/tweets, WHO... It's embedded in a individualistic/liberty framework.https://twitter.com/TeflonFong/status/1262075578812948481 …
