This doesnt seem to match

The CDC's interpretation or spin of the data doesn't match the data, which show insignificant benefit.

The CDC has admitted face masks do little to prevent the spread of COVID-19 amid mounting pressure to lift mask mandates across the U.S. In a new study, the CDC found face masks had a negligible impact on coronavirus numbers that didn’t exceed statistical margins of error.

The study found that between March and December 2020, face mask orders reduced infection rates by 1.5 percent over the rolling periods of two months each. The masks were 0.5 percent effective in the first 20 days of the mandates and less than 2 percent effective after 100 days.

Yeah...they state "Mask mandates were associated with statistically significant decreases in county-level daily COVID-19 case and death growth rates within 20 days of implementation." Not sure what I'm missing but the benefit seems negligible based on the data..

No doubt the CDC cherry picked the 10 states in their study to get the best possible outcome they wanted. Even then the benefit is insignificant.
