For many people in their 50s, 60s, and 70s, taking a low-dose aspirin has been part of their daily routine for decades.
For people without cardiovascular disease, it has long been accepted that daily low-dose aspirin lowers the odds of having a first heart attack or stroke.
The idea is so ingrained among the general public that millions take “baby” aspirin without consulting their physicians.
But a proposed update to the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force guidelines will likely pull back the task force's 2016 recommendations and limit daily aspirin for prevention to a more restricted group.

I prefer to take something like arginine or l citrulline.

So am I to understand that previously we had been given misinformation? I'm of the impression that is now categorized as terrorist activity. Will there be charges?

Everyone should do their own research, but just wanted to add, there are a lot of foods/spices that can do similar things to aspirin.
All I know is the better something is for you the more they try to get it off the shelves! So keep an eye on it.

read this then took an aspirin
June 1, 2000 -- Chalk another one up for aspirin: Researchers have concluded that giving aspirin to stroke victims as soon as they arrive at the hospital reduces their risk of having a second stroke.
In the first few days after having a stroke, patients are at high risk of having another one, says Richard Peto, a professor at Oxford University and co-author of an analysis published in the journal Stroke. "We found that aspirin didn't do very much for repairing the damage done already by the initial stroke, but ... it reduced the likelihood of having another stroke in the hospital," he tells WebMD.
What's more, he says, it appears to be beneficial to give aspirin to stroke victims right away even if doctors aren't 100% sure which type of stroke the patient has had.

I have sprung a leak on my left elbow for the third time. What causes it? Some light bump or scrape of which I pay zero attention. I only find out when my Darlin' says, "baby, you're bleeding again", and I look at the dried blood tributaries down my left forearm.

Tons of good outcomes and lives saved, thanks to Aspirin. And now Fauci's colleagues want to take this valuable life-saver off the shelves, based on recent studies. (After 1-1-2020 I bet)

WHY CHANGE THE GUIDELINES NOW?
In addition to the "official" reason given in the article...
Aspirin interferes with the clotting process that Covid-19 vaccines are (reportedly) responsible for enhancing.
It's more difficult for us to expensive clot-produced medical traumas, like strokes, lung blockage, heart problems, etc., if blood clotting is interfered with.
That would represent a tremendous loss of planned/desired revenue for the medical profession, pharmaceuticals, medical-device manufacturers, etc..
