Its really not enough to say that Adams simply had different views. He was incredibly hyperbolic, attention seeking, and intentionally inflammatory.

He treated his cancer with the anti-threadworm medication Ivermectin.

As much as I dislike Adams and disagree with a lot of the attempts to paper over a lot of reprehensible stuff, he gave it a try, abandoned it, and publicly denounced it after it didn't work, and even spoke out against the pressuring campaigns done by ivermectin/etc. quacks to push people to waste time, money, and hope on quack treatments.

There's much better examples of areas where he was off the rails than him spending a month on a relatively safe treatment trying to stay alive before giving up when faced with reality.

He tried for a month, next to his regular treatments and then called Makis who is currently promoting it a quack.

Pretty sure he tried everything, not just that, wouldn't you?

My grandfather was a surgeon, an excellent one. When he was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer, he went to every dubious healer my grandmother could find. He did it for her, and likely for himself as well. He was never right wing.
