Daily Aspirin no longer recommend to prevent heart attack or strokes

Older adults without heart disease shouldn't take daily low-dose aspirin to prevent a first heart attack or stroke, an influential health guidelines group said in preliminary updated advice released Tuesday.
Bleeding risks for adults in their 60s and up who haven't had a heart attack or stroke outweigh any potential benefits from aspirin, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force said in its draft guidance.

This is showing up as "breaking news" on Yahoo right now.
Just a week ago it was revealed daily low dose Aspirin may prevent Covid infection

I am sure the timing is just a coincidence

Bleeding risk
You’re spot on here. These people need to be executed.

Can't have COVID going away just a few months before midterm campaigning.

So for 30+ years “the experts” were wrong?

Nah man, the "science" changed, again... Aspirin is just too cheap for anyone to make anything off of...

U.S. Preventive Services Task Force

Created in 1984, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force is an independent, volunteer panel of national experts in prevention and evidence-based medicine. The Task Force works to improve the health of people nationwide by making evidence-based recommendations about clinical preventive services such as screenings, counseling services, and preventive medications. All recommendations are published on the Task Force’s Web site and/or in a peer-reviewed journal.
Task Force members come from the fields of preventive medicine and primary care, including internal medicine, family medicine, pediatrics, behavioral health, obstetrics and gynecology, and nursing. Their recommendations are based on a rigorous review of existing peer-reviewed evidence and are intended to help primary care clinicians and patients decide together whether a preventive service is right for a patient's needs.
The Task Force assigns each recommendation a letter grade (an A, B, C, or D grade or an I statement) based on the strength of the evidence and the balance of benefits and harms of a preventive service. The Task Force does not consider the costs of a preventive service when determining a recommendation grade. The recommendations apply only to people who have no signs or symptoms of the specific disease or condition under evaluation, and the recommendations address only services offered in the primary care setting or services referred by a primary care clinician.
Since 1998, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has been authorized by the U.S. Congress to convene the Task Force and to provide ongoing scientific, administrative, and dissemination support to the Task Force.
Each year, the Task Force makes a report to Congress that identifies critical evidence gaps in research related to clinical preventive services and recommends priority areas that deserve further examination. More information on these reports is available here.
More useless gov't.

Unreal. They think we're this stupid. Maybe we are.
Science: We've discovered there may be a link between daily Aspirin use and covid prevention.
Government: Uhmmm totally unrelated but we're no longer recommending you take daily Aspirin.
Media: Aspirin is horse paste! It will kill you.

This is not new. The recommendation against blanket low dose asa use in those without existing CVD or for routine primary prevention has been known for a while. USPSTF usually lags 1-2 years.

Aspirin is well established for secondary prevention of ASCVD and is widely recommended for this indication, but recent studies have shown that in the modern era, aspirin should not be used in the routine primary prevention of ASCVD due to lack of net benefit.

I thought the "science" was clear? A low dose aspirin a day, helps keep the heart attack away. So, now they're saying the "science" has changed and I'm just supposed to forget this and follow their "science" mandates on Covid vaccinations? I don't think so!

Good lord. I’ve been taking low dose aspirin for probably 20 years. I’m over 60 now. I still think that at this point the anti-inflammatory properties outweigh the risk of excessive bleeding. I’ve always bled well as in when I give blood twice a year to have a blood panel performed and when I sold plasma in college.
Reducing inflammation in this age of COVID is probably the right way to go.
Is coffee good or bad now?
