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.

I’ve heard that people think he tried a variety of quack treatments alongside doctor prescribed treatments. Basically generally desperate and ready to try everything all at once. Which is a common theme among terminal patients.
But he did say antivax stuff, after having been vaccinated. So at least when his own personal stakes are low, he was willing to roll with the MAGA rhetoric, but he wasn’t about to let his own life be at additional risk for it.
Because he and Biden had the same cancer. He actually explicitly said Trump was wrong for being mean to Biden over it. If Adams didn’t have the same disease, he probably would have piled on.

The dude who draws the guy with a tie pointed upwards? That’s literally all I know regarding him. I see a ton of people happy that he’s dead but absolutely no idea why. Even the couple of links here don’t shed any light on the details of ‘why’.

He went on an unhinged racist rant about Black Lives Matter in 2023, ending with something along the lines of “white people get as far away from black people as possible.” More details on his Wiki page but that’s the high level.

To sum it up, he was. Racist, sexist, xenophobic, hateful, a liar, manipulator, and apologist for some of the worse people of the last few decades
Dude was an absolute piece of shit.

Furthermore he was utterly obsessed with his own supposed genius.

He didn’t do anything. He’s just another artist/entertainer who doubled down on magatry despite their career being built by a diversity of loyal fans.
Wayne Gretzky is still considered the greatest hockey player of all time… but as far as most Canadians are concerned his home ice is in Mara Lago now.

He didn’t ‘do’ anything.
untrue. he spread and normalized hate speech and misinformation. he damaged lives with his platform and negligence. I would even go as far to say his anti-vaccine rhetoric killed at least one person, probably more.
he labeled black Americans as a hate group which I’m certain normalized the racism in certain groups and only served to take away more opportunities away from POC.
he also questioned the amount of deaths during the Holocaust, attempting to minimize the impact of the deaths.
dude was more than a piece of shit. now he’s a slowly rotting corpse.

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.
