I just mentioned to my daughter that all I do online these days is teach people how to think. I don't start with 'Is it true?' I'd be goin' down every rabbit hole in the field! I state the question, define the terms, and ask why it matters. That corresponds to your 'Is it useful?'
I think this inversion in our methods is why we differ on no-virus and flat-earth. Neither would change how I live my day-to-day life. Neither would give me personal or spiritual empowerment to bring about social and economic change. So I don't see them worth prioritizing over more useful truths, say, about the world wars or scriptures of empire or advanced civilizations before god's sex change. We only have so much time. Figure out why it matters before doing the deep dive to find out what's true.
Should we be convincing, berating, insulting others, though, to agree with our version of the truth when it isn't attainable? On another site, the authors (suavek and Mike Yeadon) just deleted my comments on The Arguments for No-Virus. This was a discussion in the thread with my good friend Kathleen Devanney, so a super-respectful and friendly disagreement. She said that it was an important debate among anti-vaxxers and I agreed--as a debate. But the site just proved my point that it's NOT a debate the no-virus camp is interested in. So I don't think truth is what they're working towards.
I wrote an article about the reluctance to "think" a while back.

Yeah, “what’s true” is kind of the ultimate tough question. And, ultimately, although it may not be attainable we (ought to) keep working toward it.
