No reason to avoid ibuprofen per the World Health Organization (or per Dr. Fauci). Keep in mind the data getting published are without peer review so no matter how high the impact factor of a journal or how prestigious, YOU have to evaluate whether you believe the results. In fact, you always should be a skeptic and use your own brain. (If we had been more skeptical of Wakefield in 1998 we could have saved SO much drama around vaccines.) #covid19 #coronavirus #flattenthecurve
Q: Could #ibuprofen worsen disease for people with #COVID19? A: Based on currently available information, WHO does not recommend against the use of of ibuprofen. WHO is aware of concerns on the use of ibuprofen for the treatment of fever for people with COVID-19. We are consulting with physicians treating the patients and are not aware of reports of any negative effects, beyond the usual ones that limit its use in certain populations. #coronavirus
