Steve Waterson in The Australian yesterday on the effectiveness of masks or "comfort blankets"
I won’t question masks’ efficacy, save to quote Colin Axon, a scientist who advises the British government’s SAGE committee on airborne transmission of the virus. He calls them “comfort blankets”, explaining that medical experts, with their “cartoonish” view of how particles travel, are “unable to comprehend” just how minuscule the virus is. “A Covid particle is roughly 100 nanometres,” he says.
“Material gaps in blue surgical masks”, although invisible to the naked eye, “are up to 1000 times that size; cloth-mask gaps can be 500,000 times that size”.

But if it makes you feel secure, please keep pulling the grubby rags out of your pocket and popping them on as you head into Woolies.

We underestimate this lunatic circus at our peril

So masks are similar to those jabs, both are very leaky and ineffective at stopping the transmission of the variants.
