Quite true. Science deniers will look for the sources that tell them what they want, and will usually find them.
Back when flat earthers were making headway, probably around lockdown 2020, Sabine Hossenfelder released a video saying flerfs are not stupid, they're just empiricist. The Earth looks flat, so they believe it to be. I don't know how much time she spent looking into it. She claimed they believe the Earth is accelerating upwards at 9.8m/s² to account for gravity, and in my experience that's a very rare belief among flerfs. But I can testify that you can give flerfs all manner of visual evidence that refutes their model and they'll wave it away with gymnastics of reason or just ignore it.
But one thing about which she was right is we all need to get our information from somewhere. I can't prove evolution myself, so I trust those who do. I can't prove their evidence isn't faked, so I take their word for it. Human progress depends on this collaborative process between people across time. People with some emotional drive, however small, to ignore scientific discovery will find someone (sometimes even scientists) who will give them something to support their intuitions against the depth of scientific knowledge.
