My question: are we not going to lose herd immunity on literally all other viruses (including ones where it may have been man decades since we did not have herd immunity) as a result of masks? We can only really choose masks once, before we either have them forever or have to take them off. When we take them off, why would a giant wave of all infectious illness not take off?

Why would wearing masks for a few years destroy decades worth of herd immunity?

Because there's a very careful balance of slow spread and natural immunity. If we turn off spread for long enough, we turn off natural immunity too because our body isn't receiving constant low dose exposure.

Are you likely to lose an immunity? I thought once you have an immunity it’s basically for life.

Don’t ask too many questions! You could accidentally wake up and find out that this whole “coronavirus” thing is a giant scam! And that would be SCARY wouldn’t it? ;)
