It’s more like a talisman — no, the mask is exactly like a talisman. The completely ineffective mask against a virus — any virus — is nothing more than a good luck charm or face-mounted amulet to ward off a Chinese evil spirit, Covid.
I’m not going to say that the masks cannot, if worn properly, be at least somewhat effective in certain situations and conditions - but for the most part and for most people it is exactly that: a talisman.

How about just admitting the masks were stupid.

... and that’s the point: “IF” they’re worn properly ... and for 98% of wearers — untrained in the application, use and maintenance of PPE — that’s a gigantic “if” ... and it’s what makes compelled masking, particularly of healthy people, such a despicable and completely unnecessary and ineffective practice that needs to stop before our society can fully recover.
