For political reasons or just following the science?

Yes, really.

An article titled 'Farce mask: it's safe for only 20 minutes' published by the Sydney Morning Herald in 2003 explained how, 'Retailers who cash in on community fears about SARS by exaggerating the health benefits of surgical masks could face fines of up to $110,000.'

The article quotes a public health experts who said that face masks are largely useless at stopping the spread of viruses and could even worsen the situation.

Refers specifically to *surgical* masks, which I thought most folks understood by now are better than nothing re protection from aerosol-borne virus but hardly as effective as proper respirators (e.g., N95) worn properly.
