Wearing a mask reduces both the chance that you get infected and the chance that you spread the virus if you are infected. This is not a fact that is only true when everyone else does it.
Nobody is saying that you, alone are going to end the pandemic on your area.
If YOU catch it due to being maskless and go on to infect even one person that otherwise wouldn't have gotten it, that should be more than enough reason to keep wearing the mask. If that's not enough for you, I truly don't know what to say.
Probably not going to happen in anti-mask areas without a new scare. Though a new scare is also made more likely by anti-mask areas.
There is a window for decreasing infection rates, however. Vaccines are effective, just not permanently so since infectious agents can mutate. Every little bit decreases the chances of infecting others and of escape variants arising.

Not sure how you could've read it like that, but no. Do you have any questions?
How do we get large amounts of people to start wearing masks again?

You won’t kill roughly 9*0.001=0.01 person, you can calculate more precisely of course w and w/o mask ifr, but the logic is the same.
