I have to admit. I don't understand the mounds of mounds of Scott Adams hate that I always see. Can anyone summarize? He took that vax that Trump took and regretted it? kinda like Robert Malone did? and Elon Musk and Dr. John Campbell? and maybe some of your own family members?
It wasn't that he took it and regretted it, it was he took it and preached from the mountain tops that everyone else should too, then when shown evidence to the contrary, to his credit he changed his mind, but said stuff like anti vaxxers got lucky, or even idiots are right sometimes kind of language. That's why he gets the hate. He's no different than any other talking head grifter. Like said above he's a social manipulator. He says what he thinks his audience wants to hear.
He isn't saying what his audience wants to hear in this video. The vast majority of the American public is still stuck in 'muh chosen' brainwashed mode.
His audience isn't "the vast majority of America". His audience is center-right leaning folks who do not trust the government and tend toward believing that the powers that be lie in ways that are unimaginable. He is saying what his audience wants to hear. Perhaps he had a legitimate change of heart, but that shift likely was aided by the fact that it aligns with what his audience wants to hear.
I think he may actually be waking up. He had some good commentary before the pandemic, and then just lost a lot of following with his position on the vax. He eventually started to come around and it feels like it’s genuine and not pandering.
For what it’s worth, I think this is a very public example of what you’ll experience with most people who took the vax as they wake up. It will be a series of steps starting with “ok, maybe I shouldn’t have taken it, but I did what I thought was right and you guys got lucky in your choice” and ending with “the entire system is filled with corrupt murders and we need to burn it to the ground”.

Is that the whole gripe with him?
