This article does not support your claims that they lied initially to protect the number of masks available and there is no proof to support that theory except you being told that by people who changed their story multiple time.
The WHO was not concerned about the US mask supply and apparently neither was the CDC in April when this article was published.
Bugeater is 100% correct.

Admittedly Fauci and others "admitted" they lied about masks to prevent a run on them. Alliteration aside, take that for what it's worth.
That being said we know masks do jack shit to protect you from getting the virus for the most part and are largely being worn to prevent you from spreading the virus just in case you have it. Donger and some others tried to argue masks protect both but I think we know now from many experts along with those same people that masks are worn to help prevent spread not contraction.
The thing is they are finding out more and more if they don't even know flat out already that this thing is airborne and masks do little against that. N95 masks will help prevent you from contracting but are terrible for not spreading we are seeing.
Surgical masks may help diffuse your exhalation but it obviously doesn't prevent it and they certainly do not help preventing contraction.
The math is all there.....masks can help some but they are far from the holy grail that people seem to think they are.
