Older adults without heart disease shouldn't take daily low-dose aspirin to prevent a first heart attack or stroke, an influential health guidelines group said in preliminary updated advice released Tuesday.

Bleeding risks for adults in their 60s and up who haven't had a heart attack or stroke outweigh any potential benefits from aspirin, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force said in its draft guidance.

Well, mounting evidence shows that it is actually harmful for seniors to take aspirin every day. I think it’s bad to take any medication on a regular basis.

Highly recommend the book by Dr. Nortin Hadler, Rethinking Aging: Growing Old and Living Well in an Overtreated Society

I'm the same. I trust NOTHING they say.
Sunscreen is NOT safe. Salt is NOT bad for you. Statins ARE dangerous. On and on.

My doctor told me to stop taking aspirin a couple years ago. It was messing with kidney function somehow. Kidney function back to normal since I quit, so there you go.

I believe this is because of the increased risk of nano-hemorrhaging at the capillary level because of the graphene oxide.

An aspirin a day allows my arms and hands to accrue purple blotches when struck with just a little force.

This comes on the heels of a study showing daily low-dose aspirin use was a predictor of better COVID outcomes.

Funny thing, timing...

You would think they were trying to kill off all us old folks.

I do and they are.........China and the US have a similar problem: too many old folks that are living longer and longer. The Bat Virus Research was to solve that problem, and any young people that died were 'collateral damage' as the numbers would not be high. Fauci and his Chinese counterparts basically conspired to kill of millions of innocent people ala Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation 'vaccines'..............................................

So much about older folks is in their way:

We were raised anti-socialist
Even the flower power, Jesus people types were shouting about independence, they disdained “the man”, and being off the grid was a status symbol.

We collect social security, medicare, and pensions, but we keep on working, because work is highly valued.

We think we should run our own families, we are patriotic in large measure, but not stupid enough to praise big brother.

Why kill us off? What’s not to love?

A single, enteric-coated baby aspirin taken with what normally would be adequate water resulted in severe pain and would have caused life-threatening bleeding within a few days if I had continued. Can’t tolerate ibuprofen either. Fortunately, naproxen I can tolerate with no issues. Thank God ๐Ÿ™

I had only the gabapentin, an antiviral, and an antibiotic. The only reaction I had was a mild rash that I’m blaming on the antibiotic.
