Go ahead and provide some examples. IME most of these comparisons neglect to take into account the timing of the statements. In medicine, especially novel Covid related, with ever changing facts on the ground, real time may yield a different answer than in retrospect.
March 2020:
Quote:
Fauci first spoke about the wearing of masks amid the COVID-19 pandemic during a March interview with 60 Minutes.
"Right now, in the United States, people should not be walking around with masks," Fauci said during the interview. "There's no reason to be walking around with a mask."
He continued, "When you're in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better and it might even block a droplet, but it's not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is."
When masks were not yet needed in most areas, there was still a vast amount of PPE hoarding going on. When the paramedics came to pick up my wife with her serious case of Covid, only one of four had proper PPE. I had to give them some of mine, as it took two paramedics to get her down our stairs.

The kind of masks recommended by the CDC/Fauci early on were cloth masks. There was no risk to medical PPE (which is not cloth masks) from this recommendation

Specific knowledge, supplies and lack of enough production and distribution.
