I was introduced to Danny through an Ivermectin-related schadenfreude death article over at Vice. No hard feelings; our side does the same.

https://www.vice.com/en/article/z3mb89/ivermectin-danny-lemoi-death

As I dug into the article, the high level facts of the situation blew me away:

1. The guy took Ivermectin daily for over ten years (what I gathered later from the podcast is he took it at the ratio recommended for a single horse treatment--what many of us use).

2. His death was marked as being from natural causes--not Ivermectin. Underlying cause was heart failure from an enlarged heart.

3. As recently as a year ago testing on his heart had indicated it was fine. (da fuq kind of testing was it that missed an enlarged heart?)

4. The reason he started taking Ivermectin was because he had Lyme disease and almost died from congestive heart failure.

And at this point, a person with a bit of common sense would be wondering why this was even an article to begin with, and if anything why it wasn't an article about how remarkable it is that this guy took an allegedly deadly medicine daily and it bought him an extra ten years from death?

But we live in the age of misinformation so I wanted to learn a bit more about the guy and it turns out he's no mundane horse paster. Check out the podcast here (or search for "Danny Lemoi"):

This guy had an extremely dire prognosis: diagnosed with lesions on the brain, then vertigo, then Parkinsons & dementia. They put a port in his heart for four years and ten months. He had congestive heart failure and his lungs filling with fluid and his internal organs failing. He was told three different times he was going to die. He was taking 120 pills a day and had an IV.

^^ That was all before Ivermectin. ^^ 14 years ago by my estimate!

He took Ivermectin for the sole reason that his doctor was going to prescribe him Plaquenil but it was $380 a month and he couldn't afford it. Got desperate and ended up getting Equimax. Took it in parallel with the other treatments for five months. Numbers improved to great. He instructed them to remove the port and since then was off.

This trash Vice article is not what will define the end of Danny's legacy--it is the beginning of it. He was a researcher and apparently helped a lot of people. Seed the article with NPCs so they can be whiplashed by it later. Danny's story is a win for us and it can be a Trojan horse for Ivermectin and other treatments at a later date.

Share it far and wide in any form and watch the seeds grow later.
