But will the elite give up their adrenochrome for this stuff? Unlikely.

If this compound stops again and numerous diseases, why did all the Easter Islanders die out leaving behind some stone heads?

They cut down all their trees, and so could no longer build boats. Which meant no fishing.

Bad news though: makes your head enormous and turns it to stone.

So there’s that.

Rapamycin for longevity: opinion article
Mikhail V. Blagosklonny
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6814615/

“Sirolimus, also known as rapamycin and sold under the brand name Rapamune among others, is a macrolide compound that is used to coat coronary stents, prevent organ transplant rejection, treat a rare lung disease called lymphangioleiomyomatosis, and treat perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa). It has immunosuppressant functions in humans and is especially useful in preventing the rejection of kidney transplants. It is a mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) kinase inhibitor that reduces the sensitivity of T cells and B cells to interleukin-2 (IL-2), inhibiting their activity. This compound also has a use in cardiovascular drug-eluting stent technologies to inhibit restenosis.”

They could have reached the same fate just by going Woke and putting up No Fishing signs.

This is a nice overview. I know I posted at least four stories this partly brought in.

Right up there with Ivermectin as an anti-inflammatory.
Good news!

They did not leave. They turned into stone heads. Bit of a side effect.
