Why would he even bring up PPE shortages in response to a question about changing mask recommendations? You've invented a charitable narrative in an attempt to explain the changing recommendations, but this narrative doesn't actually explain the available evidence.
Like I've been saying all along, he either very clearly lied, or he's literally the worst science communicator I've ever seen.
Either way he should not be the face of public health.
