No she didn't. She said cloth masks were the least effective type of mask. Here's the CDC guidance: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-si...

And here's a quote not a "paraphrase": "What I will say is the best mask that you can wear is the one that you will wear and the one you can keep on all day long that you can tolerate in public indoor settings and tolerate where you need to wear it," Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the CDC director, told reporters this week. from https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/cdc-warns-loosely-woven-clot...

I'm no longer sure what point you're trying to make. She didn't say "masks don't work" either.

Masks absolutely work to prevent covid infection. Higher quality masks are much better than cloth ones, but any mask is better than no mask.

I added a note to my first comment, basically I think this triggered a realization in a lot of people how assumptions have been wrong from the start.
