No it's not. He falsely claimed that "masks don't really do much to prevent getting covid." He didn't say who it would prevent getting it which means he implied it wouldn't help "anybody," but in reality the answer to that question is that it would help "the community."

(And that's even if we were to accept his premise that masks don't help the wearer, which is also false BTW.)
