“Do you have any peer reviewed research that says there is any risk NOT to take it?”

No peer reviewed research, but did find these:

“EMA gives advice on the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatories for COVID-19”
- see https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/news/ema-gives-advice-use-non-steroidal-anti-inflammatories-covid-19

“Could ibuprofen worsen disease for people for COVID-19?”
- see https://twitter.com/WHO/status/1240409217997189128

“No scientific evidence that ibuprofen worsens COVID-19 symptoms”
- see https://healthycanadians.gc.ca/recall-alert-rappel-avis/hc-sc/2020/72633a-eng.php

“FDA advises patients on use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for COVID-19”

A few issues, lol.

1. None of those say it is risky NOT to take it.

2. And they are not peer-reviewed. Wasn’t that YOUR requirement? I could have found not peer-reviewed articles against taking it, such as:

The NHS recommends: “But until we have more information, take paracetamol to treat the symptoms of coronavirus, unless your doctor has told you paracetamol is not suitable for you.”

PARIS (Reuters) – France’s health minister on Saturday said people should not use anti-inflammatory drugs if they have coronavirus-like symptoms because it could worsen their condition.

“Taking anti-inflammatory drugs (ibuprofen, cortisone …) could be an aggravating factor for the infection. If you have a fever, take paracetamol,” Oliver Veran said on Twitter.

Véran also pointed to research recently published in The Lancet, citing 2 studies that examined 32 non-survivors from a group of 52 intensive care unit patients with COVID-19. Comorbidities included cerebrovascular diseases (22%) and diabetes (22%). The study recommended that patients with cardiac diseases, hypertension, or diabetes, who are treated with angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2)-increasing drugs are at a higher risk for severe COVID-19 infection and, therefore, should be monitored for ACE2-modulating medications, such as ACE inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers.2

There are more, but I know you’re just here to stir s*** so I’m moving on.
