I don't totally buy the never take medicine without a doctor bit. I mean lots of people do with paracetamol and the like. Some common sense is required.

I know. It might even work. But until there is really hard proof and the side effects are well documented saying it's out there is tantamount to telling people to self-experiment, prescriptions or not. Illegal drugs are a thing.

He didn't "say it's out there". Bayer did, who apparently think there's merit to this enough to issue a press release of their own and donate 3M pills. Bayer probably knows more about this than you.
Also, reuters, cnn, msnbc, etc. covered it.
Making the info available here in HN is not tantamount to telling people to self-experiment. that is laughable.

Or on the dark webs.
Medical advice should be given by doctors and what works for someone else may not work for you (be ineffective), cause side effects of all degrees of severity. Note that the original title includes the word 'potential'.
