Also, if normal masks don’t protect you from others who are sick then why do so many medical personnel wear them?
Last, if masks potentially do more harm than good, why has ever CDC interview been followed with a statement about how a mask shortage would adversely affect first responders and medical personnel’s ability to do their jobs?
Their logic is flawed so maybe masks are better than they say?

Nope. Medical personnel wear masks to prevent THEM from transmitting THEIR germs to susceptible patients and from patient to patient. And the CDC makes that statement so panicked people don't buy up all the masks that do them no good, but might prevent a surgeon from infecting an immunocompromised patient.
No flaw in logic at all
