At this point my guess is that the elites didn't want to create a shortage of something that actually works so they demonized it in the media to keep the plebs from hogging it all.
The same way n95 masks didn't work when healthcare workers needed them.
But then all of a sudden once plebs had cloth masks on hand, "masks work, protect grandma! Cloth masks are great!"
The government isn't always stupid, usually they're just sociopaths. Redditors aren't wrong to think the government has a plan, they're wrong to think the government's plan is to protect us normal people.
