His last idiocy was basically, "if only I hadn't been wrong, I'd be right, and the idiots who were right would be wrong, and then we wouldn't tolerate them having been wrong."
If I'm being charitable, I think what he meant to say was that by not taking the vaccine, we were gambling on the virus's lethality and just happened to get it right, and if we hadn't, we'd be feeling pretty stupid. It's like saying "just because you won that game of roulette doesn't mean betting your life savings was a good idea". Which would be a fair argument if it wasn't based on a bad assumption.
My decision wasn't based on luck. I knew that COVID presented virtually no risk to me. I ran the numbers myself, over and over. It's not like calculating a percentage is difficult. Even with the massively inflated death tolls, it was still less of a concern to me than simply leaving my house and subjecting myself to the dangers of living on planet Earth, and as the pandemic progressed, the danger receded even further.
He, on the other hand, trusted an untested technology with a completely unknown side effect profile simply because the establishment told him to. He exercised blind faith. And he still thinks he's the rational one here. And that is what makes him a midwit.

Exactly. He is unable to work out how he got it wrong because he is unwilling to accept that he could have been wrong in the first place. He can't accept that his opponents might have figured things out better than he did, which is evident by the argument based that it simply came down to "luck". It wasn't luck. He was wrong. Those opposed the the jab were right.
The major issue with an attitude like this is that it prevents him ever being able to improve and get better. A well-adjusted person would take this as an opportunity to learn so they don't fuck up next time, but this idiot can't do that because he's boxed himself into a corner of his own making.
You're being generous.
