Dunning-Kruger Effect
The Dunning-Kruger effect is a type of cognitive bias in which people believe they are smarter and more capable than what they actually are. Essentially, low-ability people do not possess the skills needed to recognize their own incompetence. The combination of poor self-awareness and low cognitive ability leads them to overestimate their capabilities.

The concept of the Dunning-Kruger effect is based on a 1999 paper by Cornell University psychologists David Dunning and Justin Kruger.

Here’s the link to the original study:
Unskilled and unaware of it: how difficulties in recognizing one's own incompetence lead to inflated self-assessments

They correlate incompetence as stupid.
Dunning Kruger Effect: How Stupid People Think They Are Amazing
In short, this research in psychology showed that the more incompetent a person was, the higher the chances that he considered himself capable.

Predictably, they’ve extended The Dunning-Kruger Effect to anyone who refuses the shot(s).
Enter the Dunning-Kruger Effect, a cognitive bias that a new study uses to explain anti-vaccine policy attitudes.
“The scope of people’s ignorance is often invisible to them,” explained one of DKE’s originators – social psychologist David Dunning.

Another mudsling:
On Covidiots and Covexperts:Stupidity and the Politics of Health
In this paper, I explore a particular facet of these public debate over the politics of health: the deployment of the commonplace of stupidity. I argue that the growth of this commonplace within discussion is rooted in particular models of interpretation which limit selfunderstanding, by over-emphasising certain points of significance within the interpretative horizon over more banal (and “stupid”) aspects that are, nevertheless, influential on health interventions.

My understanding of the Freddy Krueger, oh…I mean, The Dunning-Kruger Effect applied to COVID-19 is:
Anyone who refuses the “vaccine(s)” is stupid.
Thank-you Freddy for coining with eloquence, “Welcome to my world, B****”!
Wow. I guess I'm stupid... LOL! The garbage They spout to get People to slow-kill Themselves. Excellent article!
Psychology, as construced and practiced, is the textbook clinical example of a Mass Formation Psychosis Narcissistic Pathology Paradigm at minimum by own rules out of the box. You won't begin to understand the Observations of Psychology, until you understand the psychology of Psychology. To understand the psychology of Psychology, use the Objective Hypocrisy Test, Own Words and Actions against Own Rules.
Psychology's childhood is hopelessly damaged dissociated from objective sciences and own rules, that's why there's Methodology/Integrity problems all thru the paradigm.
Constant and Exponential Own Rule Violations.
The mAsKs and shutdowns and covid19 vaXX DON'T WORK - the so called experts in human behavior can't see the massive gaslight in today's environment. This is because they lack the Aptitude to do a science, the Integrity insight of own words walk.
Lack the Most Empathy Model, thus lacks Empathy. Won't adopt the Most Empathy Model because Psychology doesn't accept Constructive Criticism.
Likely the best "diagnosis" for Psychology is: Sunk Cost Syndrome + Deep Pockets Syndrome + some form of Narcissism Sociopathy Psychopathy and Sadism all rolled into one.
Narcissism at minimum, or the kids get the cash.

Objective Systems Analysis my Profession, Psychology is disordered by own rules out of the box.
