People have been throwing charts and graphs and all manner of hard data in these peoples' faces for a year now, and it's done no good. They've been conditioned to only accept the word of a person anointed by the TV (or equivalent YouTube channels or whatever). The only way they could possibly believe it was all fake would be if Dr. Fauci showed up on the evening news and said, "Yeah, it was all fake. I did it to make myself rich. Nyah nyah nyah!"
I think the best approach is to treat the whole thing like a crazy cult of the sort that was until recently only found in fiction.
