One side is going: "Hey it looks like we kind of understand this better now 12 months out, and it's not that it's no big deal, but maybe we should re-think how we are approaching handling this disease"
The other side is going "NO! It's as bad as people say and always has been and you don't care about dead grandmas and every single piece of information I have about this pandemic is 100% unassailable and I am utterly unwilling to consider any contrary information!!!"
But apparently *we're* the ones politicizing things and being unreasonable and unwilling to have our minds changed. Right.

Except your candidate's CDC is putting out data that shows masks are effective in reducing viral load and therefore effective at reducing transmission. So your description is incorrect.
It's more one side is saying "hey we should do this because the data is showing that it's quite possible that it helps...and oh by the way wearing a mask isn't really an inconvenience at all so let's err on the side of caution."
And the other group is going "no! We don't want to! And we'll just pretend that what the CDC's data shows isn't real!"
Just wear a mask for a couple more months until we can get the vaccine out to most people. It's really not a big deal.
