As soon as reports came out that aspirin could be beneficial in treating Covid-19, the articles soon started appearing that aspirin was harmful and people shouldn’t be taking it.
What should we believe? The doctors have all been wrong up to now and we should discount everything they previously said, or are they wrong now and we should discount everything they are currently saying? Because no matter which it is, the doctors are incorrect on the issue, either now or then. Trust the science they say. Which science, I ask?
Indeed. Doctors have been advising people with these conditions to take at least low dose aspirin daily. The summary just says more likely to have heart failure - but in what timeframe? Sooner or later than if the disease itself were left without aspirin treatment?
It’s also a broad list of co-morbidities. Smoker, diabetics, hypertension, cholesterol, obese, previous CVD etc. Are these all lumped together as if they are they same disease? Does one or more of these co-morbidities tip the scale for the entire group?
