ABSOLUTELY ^^^ The openings between the fibers in a standard cloth mask are 5,000 times larger than a corona virus particle, allowing the virus to run right through it.
If we are “following the science” then we know that masks CANNOT POSSIBLY work against the virus.

Playing devil’s advocate here (maybe?) - the purpose of the mask is to stop the droplets the virus particles are in. It’s like building a chain link fence to stop fleas - it won’t stop fleas by themselves but it will stop the dog that is carrying the fleas.
