I'm unvaxed and never wear a mask. Despite having been around several people with Covid, I have not had so much as a sniffle. I conclude that's due to not wearing a mask.

So find a sample of people who've avoided COVID but spend plenty of time around others on a regular basis, and look at the percentage who wear masks among those people. No cherry-picking, such that that percentage should be relatively stable regardless of who finds the sample and between multiple samples. I bet the percentage of maskers in the no-COVID samples will be far higher than the percentage of maskers in the general population (who have predominantly had COVID by now). Note that even if masks work, it may be very reasonable for a large percentage of people to choose not to wear them (having natural immunity would be a very good reason for example)
The fact that you lumped the vaccine together with masks (when I never mentioned vaccine earlier and I am unvaccinated) shows that this is about ideology first and science last, as in ideology-driven science.

I think you missed my point. One individual's experience means virtually nothing.
