A new study from doctors at George Washington University finds low-dose aspirin can reduce severe COVID-19 disease.
Specifically, they found an association with aspirin use and the decreased need for Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admission, ventilation, and death from COVID-19.
Garsh. Aspirin, Vitamin D, Vitamin C, Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine. All these cheap, old, easily obtained items that have clear mitigation benefits to avoiding COVID or reducing infection severity, and nobody in a white coat sayin' nuffin. Makes a body wonder.....
ReplyDeleteI guess the doctors at George Washington University don't wear white coats.
DeleteAny one else notice not one word on what we are paying per vaccine to the billion dollar big pharma companies.
DeleteYou don’t make money curing people, you don’t make money preventing illness, you don’t make money recommending over the counter cures and treatments.
DeleteYou make money from hospital stays and prescribing exotic (not off patent) drugs.
"Any one else notice not one word on what we are paying per vaccine"
DeleteApproximate per dose:
AstraZeneca - $4
J&J - about $10
Moderna - $15-$25 wholesale, $32-37 retail
Novavax - about $16
Pfizer - $19.50
is there anything that doesn't kill this so-called virus? hmmm.
ReplyDeleteThe antibodies in you immune system kills the virus. All these various remedies either weaken the virus or strengthen the immune system.
DeleteExcept the mRNA concoctions. That's gene therapy, NOT a vaccine. RESIST the JAB!
DeleteYes, a liberal actually cultivates virus'. And the colluding media is the virus.
DeleteI take my low-dose daily. Bring on the Covid!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd we all know that if they tried to introduce aspirin now, as a new drug, it'd never get through the FDA.
ReplyDeleteNo doubt, I believe there are efforts to review and restrict it as of late. Last tele-contact I had with a doctor, the intake person was more concerned with my taking some aspirin vs other things.
DeleteThe linked news article is not helpful, probably because most reporters are scientifically illiterate. A person would have to read the actual medical-journal article (and evaluate it critically for study design and statistical methods used) before deciding what the results meant.
ReplyDeleteAn association is not necessarily causation. Also, it is not clear whether the aspirin (ASA) treated patients were given ASA because of suspicion of WuFlu, or because they were already on ASA before getting sick. It's probably the latter. The fact that someone is on a preventative drug (against bad cardiovascular disease outcomes) indicates they have long-term medical care (e.g. a primary doctor) or are interested in their own health, or both. As opposed to someone who has no regular doctor and/or gives not a single shit about his health. That alone could be enough to account for the difference outcomes in +ASA and no-ASA patients.
Apart from the association is not causation issue, even if +ASA was associated with better WuFlu outcomes, the proper statistical model also needs to take into account all the other relevant baseline differences, and treatment differences, and see whether ASA remains a statistically independent factor after accounting for all those.
Not saying ASA isn't helpful in WuFlu. I dunno. But that article is not informative. And I don't have time to track down and read the actual scientific paper just now.
@Inbred Redneck: no, not a chance in hell they'd approve ASA now.
Why is aspirin white? You want it to work don't you.
ReplyDeleteSteroids would work better. Most people die from the inflammatory complications of the virus, not the virus directly. You just have to know how to dose steroids in order to be "anti-inflammatory" vs "immune suppressive". It's a treatment that should only be monitored by medical professionals.
ReplyDeleteAspirin was another major cause of the deaths from the 1918 pandemic, right after enforced mask use (Falsi Faucci actually wrote a paper in 2015 showing masks to be the major cause of death, as it created a toxic bacterial environment right on the person's face - most people died from pneumonia). Anyway, aspirin was relatively new, and people were taking lots of it thinking it would protect them from the flu. It's extremely dangerous when taken in high doses.
ReplyDeleteThe aspirin in 1918 was the "Real" aspirin, not the shit we have now. The crap sold as aspirin today are nsaids NOT the old ASA we we grew up on.
