The treatment reduced the risk of reaching mechanical ventilation by 44%. ICU admissions were lower by 43%, and an overall in-hospital mortality saw a 47% decrease.

Over-the-counter aspirin could protect the lungs of COVID-19 patients and minimize the need for mechanical ventilation, according to new research at the George Washington University.

The team investigated more than 400 COVID patients from hospitals across the United States who take aspirin unrelated to their COVID disease, and found that the treatment reduced the risk of several parameters by almost half: reaching mechanical ventilation by 44%, ICU admissions by 43%, and overall in-hospital mortality by 47%.

Anything to keep people from using proper treatment.

At least aspirin is readily available right now, unlike hand sanitizer a week after everyone bought out all of the stock last year. How long before it disappears from the shelves, either from frantic buying or government regulations?

Mmm. There’s compelling evidence that shows that during the Spanish flu those popping aspirin were dying at a much higher rate than those that didn’t. Isn’t a fever your body’s defense mechanism?

Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

My pharmacist told me that if aspirin had to go through the FDA approval process today, it wouldn’t pass. she says it’s that dangerous.

As usual competing opposite medical advice to keep people going 'well which is it'??????

A daily low-dose aspirin has long been recommended for heart health, but an influential panel says it's no longer beneficial.

take it or don't take it
