I went and looked up the studies.

With diving into the rabbit hole, it may help prevent severe symptoms. Which puts it on a large list of other "may help" medicines.

What he referenced was a study, looking backwards at people who took low dose aspirin and who had covid. They had lower incidence. But those are elderly people, and there could be lots of other factors at play.

Seems like that's usually the case but if those "other factors" don't jibe well with the poster's agenda they are carefully downplayed. Too many people don't follow up (or don't know why it might be a good idea) and accept the post at face value because it just bolsters their own opinion.

I bruise all the time now. I have them all over. I won't miss having one less pill to take.
What type of baby aspirin were you taking that needed a prescription?

The problem with Aspirin is that it is unpredictable. It hampers your body's ability to clot.

Why not do blood donation?

Frequent blood donation has been proven to reduce risk of heart attack and stroke. Going down a pint or so every 8 to 10 weeks spaces out the blood cells... reduces the viscosity of the blood and has tons of benefits for the donor.

Those bloodletting people were actually on to something. https://www.artofmanliness.com/healt...-bloodletting/

BTW if you donate to research they pay you as well for you blood.

But free is better. LOL


At any rate, I won't be taking it anymore, as soon as my prescription runs out.
