As others have pointed out, #3 might dampen, not encourage, mask wearing. How about "Masks aren't just for you, but for the people AROUND you"?

Which is why many East Asian countries have big PR campaigns that focus on how stylish cotton masks are and how they're "more effective" than medical masks*

*more effective at slowing spread through the population, not more effective protection

The opposite reaction was one surprising thing when masks came around. A groups of people getting angry on cool looking masks like "mask is not a fashion statement".

I think that was just sour grapes from the people who didn't have cool stylish masks.
