Indeed.
My partner's step-sister is one roll away from going full tinfoil. She occasionally asks searching questions about stuff I deal with at work (pharmaceutical manufacturing) like "but how do you know what's in vaccines?", which is fair enough and she is quite right to challenge assumptions. The problem is that she doesn't subject her own views/opinions to the same scrutiny. So maybe it's down to a lack of self-awareness.
I try to avoid her, though. Last time I saw her, she asked if I could get hold of some Ivermectin because Joe Rogan was taking it.

It would be too easy.
That's the other attribute that is astonishingly common in the conspiracy-minded: extreme gullibility. It's like they're overcompensating for being credulous fools by projecting it onto everyone else.
