From what I understand he is on Twitter and a doctor that has had Long COVID (Dr Anna Brock*) reached out to him when she heard his story. With help of a non profit organization they organized his transport to a clinic that was willing to take him.
The author of the article, Nina Weber, had been reporting on ME for over 10 years now.
She does emphasize that this is just a n=1 but I think the hope is that stories like these can draw more attention on severe ME and put pressure on our government to fund research.
It's the 2nd article of that kind, there was a girl that had severe LC that also got a lot better with immunadsorption.
Of course there's a danger in that kind of reporting, but I strongly empathize with the severely ill here. Public attention was the only thing that got them help.
*Edit: Anna Brock also had immunadsorption that helped her so much that she could go back to work
