I never heard him say it was a mistake, I heard him say it was a necessary lie to protect supplies of masks. Do you have a link to where he said it was a mistake? Maybe I just missed it?

I'm not sure you can say anything is a mistake if you then release a statement saying "why I did it". it just comes off as an accidental card tip to what's really going on
