He rightly says that virus particles are much smaller than the gaps in masks but no one is claiming that masks will stop naked virus particles, not even hardcore surgical masks. Cloth masks are designed to catch liquid droplets.
In the end what is the price of being wrong? If masks do nothing to protect yourself or others, then the price of wearing a mask over not wearing one is a slightly sweaty face. If masks do protect the wearer or others, then the price of not wearing one is the further spread of COVID.

virus particles might be smaller but what they're mainly in isn't, tiny droplets of saliva etc
