Aspirin, one of the oldest and most widely used drugs, is preventing COVID-19 infections, Israeli scientists have claimed in “exciting” findings.
In the peer-reviewed research, they found that in a sample of Israeli PCR tests, patients who take small doses of aspirin were 29 percent less likely to test positive. They cross-referenced 10,477 results with medical records covering what preventive drugs patients take.
As well as concluding that people who take aspirin, which was developed more than 120 years ago, are less likely to be diagnosed with the virus, Frenkel-Morgenstern hit on another “important” finding: Aspirin users who are diagnosed with COVID-19 are likely to have a shorter illness — by about two days — and be less likely to suffer from aftereffects of the coronavirus, she reported.

People who take aspirin regularly are more likely to protect themselves as they are likely at higher risk for stroke and heart disease.
“People who take aspirin regularly are more likely to protect themselves as they are likely at higher risk for stroke and heart disease.”
Precisely!! And that is why we need to do randomized clinical trials! 🙂
Aspirin is dangerous. Stay far away from that killer drug.
This finding makes sense (for a layman) as well;
One of the commonly administered therapies today, for covid patients, are blood-thinners.
They have an impressive rate of preventing serious outcomes.
And everybody knows that Aspirin is also a blood-thinner. (Albeit a weak one, which may explain why the reduction is only 29%.)
Lol. Now everyone is going to come out that aspirin is dangerous.
