Tis a shame you didn't learn that no one ever suggested "drinking bleach"...
And no, cloth masks are not "always deemed bad" and were most certainly recommended by the "experts"...
Fauci first told us that we didn't need masks (that was to ensure that peons didn't clean out the supply needed for medical staff's PPE). Then, he said that cloth masks were adequate. He wore his cloth "Washington Nationals" mask (and still does to this day) quite often...
Now, they tell us that cloth masks are useless (something many of us knew 2 years ago)...
So, lying to us about masks in the beginning was good.
So, to sum up, Yes, we've learned things. BUT... We've also been lied to, multiple times...
And you wonder why there is so much distrust...
