How to talk to believers of COVID-19 conspiracy theories

Conspiracy theorists go on the premise that all of traditional media is lies and it's the niche outlets are the ones that have the credible people who are telling the truth. They don't believe in the idea that traditional media outlets hold each other accountable for facts. Instead, they think they're all in it together, telling us lies and working against America to make us a corporatist or communist country or something. I don't even know where to begin.

How to talk to morons like gwb who for months told us you could not get immunity to Covid

and who told us locations like

Texas, Florida and Sweden would face Covid apocalypses because they did not follow the "experts" and refuse to lockdown again or at all.

Conspiracy Theorists should have just listen to their family doctor if they didn't trust the media.

The media and the government have used lies to go to war. And that's not a conspiracy theory. Do you learn history or just ignore it.
 
Maybe if you linked to some data... you would not be wondering...
these states all seemed to have second waves.

I wonder why the states that got hit early on didn't experience the second wave that happened in the red states like TX, FL and the Dakota's.

When it comes to the media I have an old saying, similar but different from the one Reagan gave us for the USSR.

Don't Trust but Verify.
(It works for politicians and govt spokespeople too.)

That's what separates mainstream media from the conspiracy media. The mainstream media outlets are there to verify each other. The sites producing conspiracy theories are completely unverified. However, the conspiracy theorists believe that the media are all in cahoots so it doesn't matter if they're all saying the same stuff.
