The upside is the conspiracy is in the other direction.
Two layers of simple fabric mask like you would buy from the trunk of a little old lady in the parking lot of your favorite grocery seem reasonably effective. So while a full n95 respirator is ideal. KN95s work just as well. The good old fashioned kind our ancestors uzed to wear might be good enough if eveyone wore them all the time. So you can feel a reasonable degree of safety like that if that is what is available to you.
Also, i gotna big box of nice kn95s from the asian market for a reasonable price
I haven't seen much study done since the first covid so this could be true. Since mathematically a 10x more corulant virus should be able to infect a person with 10x less present viri. Not a perfrct rule. But tht would mean something like an 80% coverage mask might not protect against the now extreemly virulant form

Iirc cloth masks don't do much to protect the wearer from omicron since it's so transmissive
