OK, I cheated. You thought this post would be about Ivermectin, but up front now—It’s not.
It’s about aspirin, for starters. Obviously, Malone is being sarcastic. For all I know—and Malone would know far better—aspirin IS also used on horses. His real point is that aspirin—like so many other drugs—is used for many more purposes than the one it was originally developed for. IOW, it’s been “repurposed” for all sorts of reasons. Because it works.

Aspirin lowers risk of COVID: New findings support preliminary Israeli trial
Over-the-counter aspirin could protect the lungs of COVID-19 patients and minimize the need for mechanical ventilation, according to new research at the George Washington University.
…
“As we learned about the connection between blood clots and COVID-19, we knew that aspirin – used to prevent stroke and heart attack – could be important for COVID-19 patients,” said Dr. Jonathan Chow of the study team. “Our research found an association between low-dose aspirin and decreased severity of COVID-19 and death.”
Low-dose aspirin is a common treatment for anyone suffering from blood clotting issues or in danger of stroke, including most people who had a heart attack or a myocardial infarction. Although affecting the respiratory system, the coronavirus has been associated with small blood vessel clotting, causing tiny blockages in the pulmonary blood system, leading to ARDS - acute respiratory distress syndrome.
Israeli researchers reached similar results in a preliminary trial at the Barzilai Medical Center in March. In addition to its effect on blood clots, they found that aspirin carried immunological benefits and that the group taking it was 29% less likely to become infected with the virus in the first place.

Next up: Death.
Karl Denninger has a fascinating follow up on the jobs report earlier this week:
I won’t try to summarize his argument, but here’s a tease:
Likely explanation, beyond them being sick of your bull**** with mandates: They're DEAD.
…
The decline in the unemployment rate was not due to people "finding jobs." It was due to over half a million of them deciding to walk off and not care. That's a lot of people, and it's the second consecutive month after a strong of mostly-good news in that regard since January. Last month also say a large (1.1 million) "walk off" rate.
What has changed? Mandates came in this spring and now its jab mandates, not just masks although the last couple of months might well have been both -- specifically, many businesses going back to "Employees must wear one -- ha-ha we told you things would be normal if you just took the shot. We lied."
…
But that's not the real trouble sign here. …
The real problem, says KD, is that the the annual run rate of the non-institutional population is down about 1.2 million.
He runs the numbers and concludes that the same number as usual was added to the total, which can only mean …
So where did the 1.2 million people that should have been added to the workforce over the last year go?
They didn't go anywhere. They were added.
This means the real question is who got subtracted?
…
these estimates are what they are and if they're anywhere near accurate starting in February lots ostarting in Februaryf people started dying who should not have died because the usual rate of death doesn't move these figures.
So, inquiring minds want to know: What happened around February to start this ball rolling downhill?
Speaking of aspirin... It might be OK, in some cases, for dogs, but NEVER give a cat aspirin! They lack an enzyme necessary for the metabolism of aspirin. Those of us in the "underground/resistance" have known for months that aspirin should be part of the meds for COVID in humans. Not for Fluffy. Neil in SD (yep, still not vaxx'ed!)
