Yeah, well I don't actually care about theater versus what's effective.

I'm not sure I'd characterize it as theater. This isn't a play or performance, it is a global pandemic and people, including myself, are losing loved ones.

You wrote "I don't care about the effectiveness." So, yes, it's theater if you want to require things that don't actually do any good.

It does do good. I said that I don't care about the effectiveness. That doesn't mean it isn't effective. Nor does it mean that you shouldn't wear one.
