That's the thing though. Once you get into the conspiracy theorist mindset, you cease to believe in the most plausible answers. You have uncovered one massive secret that most common sheeple are too stupid to realize -like that Elvis is still alive or that lizardmen have replaced world leaders- and you start to look for other such clues. Since most people seem to believe that the pandemic is a real disease, clearly there must be something more sinister behind it and then you go down the rabbit hole.
...And then there's the bit where Trump said that the disease is a hoax and his supporters are spending a lot of time and effort saying how Trump didn't mean that and everyone is misinterpreting him and also that he did mean it and the disease isn't real. Because cognitive dissonance is a hell of a drug. There was some guy ranting how the disease is a hoax and how he got the virus earlier this year and how it felt like he was going to die so now he doesn't want this thing that definitely doesn't exist and/or has been exaggerated again...
