Cultivate an audience of anti-science chuds and expect some anger when you announce their vaunted cure-all actually does jack shit.

If you read the thread though (not recommended), his real problem was that he didn't take it for long enough. classic

Chuds have the same relationship to ivermectin as the vote blue crowd has toward the democratic party.

Ivermectin cannot fail. It can only be failed.

It's faith healing mediated through horse paste. If it doesn't work it's because you didn't believe in it hard enough.

Wikipedia

On May 19, 2025, Adams revealed on his daily podcast Real Coffee with Scott Adams that he has prostate cancer that has spread to his bones, and that he only has a short time left to live. He has stated that the cancer has spread to his spine which has caused him to use a walker due to the immense pain. He noted taking ivermectin and fenbendazole to treat the cancer did not work for him.

Just adding for context:

My dad refused prostate cancer treatment for over a decade and still managed to live another 2+ years once it spread to his bones. He also died an excruciatingly painful death.

I know nothing about Scott Adams' situation but from my understanding prostate cancer can often be slow (comparatively speaking) even when it hits critical mass and spreads aggressively.

I'm willing to bet he refused treatment and ignored symptoms. Same goes for O'Biden.

Glad to know his life ends like his comics did, eliciting a brief eye roll and a faint chuckle.

The concept of evidence is wholly antithetical to the chud belief system. Facts have disagreed with them for so long, they have decided that having proof of something was proof that the opposite was true. Spectacular destruction of the human psyche. This period in history will be studied by those that come after us with grotesque fascination.

This is the world you made, Scott. Isn't everything you ever dreamed it would be?
