I don't know which country you live in, but did anyone really say this?
> to not buy masks and stock up, because they didn’t work
Without any qualifier? I remember they said in March 2020 that it doesn't make sense because there were only 100 known cases in the country. The chances of meeting anyone with Covid in the streets were practically zero. At the same time, health professionals had a much higher chance of encounter. They also said that surgical masks provide little protection to the wearer. With only ~100 infected in the country (or even thousands) it wouldn't make sense to wear them and create a shortage in the health care system where they're actually needed.
I have no idea what the communication was in your country. In mine people still claim the same as you and they're either lying or have a severe lack of reading comprehension. Nobody said "Masks don't work, period."
