Does aspirin save lives in patients with COVID-19?

‘An aspirin a day keeps the heart attack away’, is this also true in the prevention of thrombotic events associated with COVID-19? The rising COVID-19 pandemic has led to much work in the understanding of the pathophysiology of the disease. COVID-19 infection is thought to be an endothelial disease. Supporting this concept, it has been suggested that infection with SARS-CoV-2, the aetiological agent for COVID-19 infection, leads to a state mimicking Virchow’s triad, that is, vascular endothelial injury, blood stasis and clotting in concert with systemic inflammation resulting in systemic thrombosis.

In keeping with this concept, moderately and critically ill patients with COVID-19 have been found to have thrombotic and thromboembolic events during the acute and convalescent state. Accordingly, there has been much interest in treating patients with COVID-19 with anticoagulants. In an analysis of several large series of critically ill patients in multiple studies (534 therapeutic anticoagulation, 564 usual care thromboprophylaxis), therapeutic anticoagulation did not improve survival or the number of days free of cardiovascular or respiratory organ support. On the other hand, among 2244 non-critically ill patients (1190 therapeutic anticoagulation, 1054 thromboembolic prophylaxis), therapeutic anticoagulation improved rates of hospital survival and reduced the use of cardiorespiratory organ support.1

Aspirin does reduce clotting and thins out blood. So yeah, using Aspirin is good if you want to use a drug to counter the potential vaccine side effects. It's also available as OTC,so that's a plus too. However, I'd suggest CURCUMIN over Aspirin. It's a natural substance derived from Turmeric /Pasupu and has similar effects as Aspirin and also interferes in the binding of Spike protein, thereby contributing to the detox effort
