Aspirin may protect against COVID-19, Israeli research finds
Times of Israel ^ | March 10, 2021 3:20 PM | Nathan Jeffay

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.

“We were really excited to see a big reduction in the proportion of people testing positive, and this gives a promising indication that aspirin, such a well-known and inexpensive drug, may be helpful in fighting the pandemic,” Milana Frenkel-Morgenstern of Bar-Ilan University told The Times of Israel.

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. …

If I remember correctly, aspirin also prevented the Andromeda Strain.

Good grief. Now it will be banned by the FDA. Stock up while you can.

Is that much ok? I ask because I do 2,000 and my wife bought some 5,000 online and I figured it was too much. But I am indoors most all day each weekday.

The Kroger I shop at has been completely out of regular aspirin for over a month. The store manager keeps telling me it is on order.

It would be cool if this is true. I have been taking one baby aspirin/day for several years, plus I take 4000 units of vitamin D each day.

When they say “low dose” aspirin, what exactly do they mean in terms of measurement? How low and how often?

I have a small Altoid box with two 325 mg aspirin.

The aspirin are first aid for me or someone else when the first indications of a heart attack or stroke appear.

The aspirin are to be chewed and absorbed in the mouth immediately

Since Covid came, I don’t go much of any where and have stopped carrying it.

1918 flu caused people to bleed out. Aspirin wouldn’t have nonevent good for that. Covid causes some people’s blood to coagulate, which aspirin would thin out.

I took aspirin when I had covid a few months back because I had read about the coagulation issue.

My sister got covid in Dec. and was briefly hospitalized. She was taking a multivitamin and 1,000 vit D.
Her Drs told her to take 20,000 Vit D short term during the winter.
Her husband also got it, but he was on the once a week 50,000 unit D “bomb”. His only symptoms were headache and fatigue.
My husband and I were doing 2,000 until my sister’s experience. We upped it to 20,000 and are now tapering off since we are getting outside now.

During the Spanish flu they used between 8 to 31.2 g aspirin per day. 9 g per day is toxic which makes you hyperventilate. They over medicated. Aspirin first produced in tablets a short time before this. They didn't know the proper dosage. What is interesting about this how one doctor influences many doctors when none of them knew what was to much.

Post cardiac stent, I was put on a baby aspirin before bedtime.

Also, I take an Eliquis, a blood thinner, in the morning and after dinner.

The main side effect is that I bruise easier, and that could have caused my Covid Vaccination arm after my second Pfizer shot.

My wife’s internist about 2 decades ago put my wife on a baby aspirin before bedtime. She is still on it.

I take 4000 IU per day of Vitamin D3, as well as four Brazil nuts ONCE A MONTH for cholesterol. This is rather unbelievable-

https://nutritionfacts.org/video/four-nuts-once-a-month/

“A single serving of Brazil nuts may bring cholesterol levels down faster than statin drugs and keep them down even a month after that single ingestion.”
