Weren’t there statistics saying gaiters weren’t really effective for filtering? Also, the whole point of wearing a mask to not let you spread anything?
the mask yes matters more that it helps if the person themselves has it, from spreading it to others. but still does offer a level of protection for yourself (not to the same degree as the sick person wearing it).
Wearing a mask is like a rampant person running around peeing. If the person peeing is wearing pants, it blocks most of the urine from spreading. If you wear pants, it still offers a level of protection more than if you chose to not wear pants to avoid the pee.
The reason why it was important for covid is that there are many asymptomatic carriers, so unless you can prove to everyone around you that you DIDN’T have it without wearing a mask, you should be treated as potentially having it.

A well-sealed respirator mask like an N95 filters inhalation and exhalation extremely well.

Thus, a world where we don’t protect each other is like an ouroboros of peeing Calvin stickers.
