No he didn't doubled-downed at all. Pauling claimed to the end of his life that Vitamin C works. Mainstream never replicated his studies. He even said that he would die from cancer probably a lot earlier then in his old age if he didn't megadose with C. Its a shame that this story goes like it does, both for Pauling and vitamin C. To just label Pauling as a quack is mind blowingly disrespectful - he would probably get a third Nobel prize for DNA discovery unless he was prevented by US gov to attend important events. As for Vitamin C, the sole fact that all creatures on this planet produce it apart from 3 mutants is highly intriguing if nothing else. I am personally megadosing with Vitamin C in various formats for around 15 years. I think I have only positive benefits from the start, and given that it is as harmless as water anybody can try. The book "Ascorbate: The Science of Vitamin C" has good historic info if anybody is interested. Also, "Dynamic Flow" model tries to explain its workings in the body.
