The aspirin study focused on people who take “baby” 75 milligram doses of the drug for primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases, but don’t already have such diseases. Results were adjusted to account for age and co-morbidities.

Post cardiac stent, I was put on a baby aspirin before bedtime.

Also, I take an Eliquis, a blood thinner, in the morning and after dinner.

The main side effect is that I bruise easier, and that could have caused my Covid Vaccination arm after my second Pfizer shot.

My wife’s internist about 2 decades ago put my wife on a baby aspirin before bedtime. She is still on it.

That’s a preventive dose mostly for heart attacks, because it thins the blood and makes “the big one” less likely.

One of the things about Covid and similar diseases is that they apparently can result in clots and thickening of the blood, so therefore anything that thins the blood is going to help.

If you’re going for surgery, make sure you tell your doctor, because too much bleeding can be the result and this can be dangerous..
