He's in his 50s. Not looking for advice on how to shame him, just trying to help him survive. I'm already planning to give him a dump of Ivermectin information.

Bayer Aspirin will work short term to staunch the creation of clots and thin the blood, but if he needs surgery, his blood may be too thin to prevent bleed out.
Longer term clot prevention includes warfarin, regular doctor visits, at least 1/month, and in the event of a severe clotting event, the clotbuster shot administered in the ER.
If he has clots in his legs already, he needs to not be at home. He needs to be in an ICU, because all it takes is a small clot to break off, pass through the heart or into the lungs, or into the vessels feeding the heart, and that's it. Your friend would likely be an obituary in the following days paper.
This is serious. My mother has had clot issues like this from an injected birth control interaction in her 20s and her ability to go from 100% to almost gone is breathtaking.
Your friend made an emotional decision because of his kid. That's understandable. Sad, but kids have a way of getting past our prefrontal cortex.
If the kid is an adult, he must be made to understand that the medical advice they presented to his father so adamantly may very well be the thing that ends their father's life. If they're younger than 18 but able to understand, they must be made to understand the same thing. Daddy is dying because they advocated for the vax propaganda.
