My translation of what Adams seems to be saying here:
Although Adams was much better informed than the antivaxxers (who are all clearly had a knee jerk emotional reaction and lacked any kind of reasoned thinking or decision-making backed up by research), the chance happening made the anti-vaxxers win. It wasn't because the anti-vaxxers knew more or were more researched or were more informed. No, unfortunately, in this case, apparently, for the provaxxers like him, knowing more was what scuppered him, reason and rational thinking was what made him trip up, and for reasons beyond Adams, the god of chance (unfairly) smiled upon the antivaxxers who clearly didn't know their way out of a paper bag, but just so happened to guess right using just their emotional knee-jerk decision making. Oh the cruelty of chance! Emotional uneducated guess won over rational educated guess. So hey, antivaxxers, you won this time, but I think Adams wants to say, it's not because you used your mind, it's just, thanks to chance, using your mind didn't produce the right answers this time.
Because you know, we antivaxxers did no research and never looked at any of the Pfizer documents. We just had a knee-jerk MAGA reaction.
His reaction is what people would characterize as coming from a sore-loser.
Zero sincerity, full of ego and arrogance and a condescending attitude towards us "anti-vaxxers".
He's the kid in the playground who gets caught bullying the other kids and the adults make him apologize, this is the kind of apology a bully would make in public.
But what can you expect coming from a has been who's sole expertise is creating a comic the Gen-Xers liked.
An unmasked pseudo-intellectual is such a pathetic sight to behold.
Pretty much h summed it up. Us knuckle-dragging mouth-breathers had no way of interpreting the white papers regarding biosciences and ..well..anything. Whew! Lucky us!!
As bad, he was trolling us on Twitter this morning about " Who he should trust?" And so many had no idea how insincere he was being.
You absolutely nailed it. Adams takes great pains to say the “anti-vaxers” (totally inappropriate term BTW) were right and he doesn’t “want to throw any shade on their victory” and then he promptly does just that by saying that all of his “fancy analytics” got him “to a bad place” while our “heuristics” totally worked. ...It’s very disingenuous. What he really should do is acknowledge that his analysis was completely off-base and apologize for potentially influencing his fans to make a very flawed decision.
Great comments Anne D! This tool’s comments are insulting to those of us who chose not to receive this injectable, for reasons others in this thread have clearly articulated.

Erm...sorry, no sympathy from me.
Excellent analysis. Anne D! I absolutely agree with you.
Adams delivered the equivalent of a "non-apology." smh
I love this reasoning....beautiful

As a GenX... I have always skipped over Dilbert with a jaundiced eye.
Real Gen Xers crave Calvin and Hobbes!! 😁
The best comic ever! (Although I like Dilbert too.)
I think so also! So deep,yet also so silly. Perfection.
Yep!♥️

Alf Douglas: I want to emphasize the significance of your last sentence.

This what ticks me off.
yeah. just because they were right doesn’t mean they are smart or know anything. antivaxxers are still stupid. even when they’re right.
