Yes, but the messaging is not consistent which leads to public distrust, which might actually be worse. Don't wear masks, they don't help! But we need them because they do actually help! It's obviously not that simple but that's the way it's being perceived.

Maybe a minority, as there will always be, but I think most people are aware of the difference between medical and non-medical masks, and feel the messaging is consistent.

Definitely not - instead of emphasizing production the US has had this horrible no mask message - likely resulting in deaths
