He does seem to be working as a bad actor. If he was looking to spread good information he would talk about what _does_ work.

His statement "I state that cloth masks do not stop the virus from spreading" is too absolute. I only read the Vietnamese study's summary, but it concluded medical masks were more effective, not that "cloth masks do not stop the virus from spreading."

All this said, n95s are widely available now and should be worn.

Thank you for the link and context.
