Clott Adams has issues, but it is not Dunning-Kruger cognitive bias.
To answer his question, it was a simple risk calculation.
the virus is no more deadly than the seasonal flu.
simple research on mRNA injections showed they had never been able to successfully pass a clinical trial - all or most of the animals died (ADE).
as a result of the failed clinical trials, the long-term effects of the mRNA injections were completely unknown.
The virus was low risk, and the injections were high risk. It was literally THAT simple to make the decision not to get them.
Then add the lies, propaganda, bribes, illegal mandates, lack of informed consent, censorship, etc... all of that just made it more and more obvious that getting the injections was a really bad idea.
Edit: I checked out Clott's thread, and it is all a bunch of flaming passive-aggressive bullshit. He has learned nothing.
Good summary. I'd add #4 that the jab was being pushed so hard with so much emotional manipulation to people who had proven not to be at serious risk. That was a gigantic red flag.
It wasn't "Here's a product if you think you're at risk." It was "GET JABBED OR YOU'RE A GRAMMA MURDERER!!1!"

That's pretty much sums it all up.
Then the big one.
An experimental mRNA vax that has never been tried on humans before. That experimental vax is going world wide. We were not even allowed to question the wisdom of that idea.
If that was not a giant red flag there is no such thing as a giant red flag.
For me it was the unbelievable fear-mongering over Ivermectin. The fact that study after study, the Nobel Prize and 4 billion human prescriptions weren’t enough to get past iT’s HorSe dEwOrmEr. If they would lie this hard and this blatantly about one thing there was no way I would trust them on any other.
Scott Adams has Dunning Kruger Syndrome:

He's not smart enough to realise that other people might be smarter than him.

I didn’t want it but when they fired people over it I knew I definitely don’t want it now
Yeah. And even after they realized you can still get it and spread it they still used that argument!!
And equally emotional / irrational communication against alternative views, prevention and treatments.

The mRNA had so much RandD dollars spent on it and it was a complete failure but the money was spent so they didn't want let it go.
I don't think it was a failure, from their perspective. The jabs did exactly what they were supposed to.
Now it may be a failure because they didn't convince enough people to voluntarily take it, but the tech works as intended.
As a bioweapon it is a success
