we could have argued for all masks being sold to post some measurable stat about the mask, but then others would have argued that would have prevented masks from even hitting the shelf and we'd be worse off.

In the first weeks of the pandemic when there was a shortage of surgical masks? Any cloth was better than nothing. Several months into the pandemic? Would have liked to see a program to distribute "better" masks and retire the bad ones.
