Antivax University

Dear Antivaxxers,
The reason you are ridiculed is that you exemplify the Dunning-Kruger effect, which, as put by Daniel R. Hawes, describes the phenomenon whereby “people fail to grasp their own incompetence, precisely because they are so incompetent“. In other words, people who know the least about a subject tend to think they know the most.

Not because there is some kind of conspiracy against you.
