yeah maybe not a lie but a lie since then, they could have told people to make their homemade masks and some did. No need to stockpile simple pieces of cloth. Then they wanted to use not wearing a mask as a reward for getting vaccinated. You don't hear much about masks as much now, cuz everyone dumb enough to get vaccinated just not to wear a mask already did, now they are using more of a bludgeon approach, mandates, to make people get vaccinated, no need for rewards.
