    In April 2011 he also made a sockpuppet account on MetaFilter to jerk himself off with self-aggrandization while pretending to just be a fan, only to be called out basically immediately by regular MetaFilter users.

    There’s so many ways to suck and this guy tried basically all of them.

    Adams did not go into detail about his treatments, other than saying the anti-parasitic medications ivermectin and fenbendazole did not work for him. There is no evidence to support the claims that ivermectin — which was falsely touted as a treatment for COVID-19 — can treat cancer.

      If he skipped out on standard treatments in favor of a self prescribed regimen of fucking ivermectin then he deserves a Darwin Award. If he did both then I guess hope can do funny things to people even if the source is conspiracy nonsense.

        I had to look up his bio (where I learned that he had just died, this post makes more sense now) and found that he actually had no biological children, so he would actually be eligible for a Darwin Award.
