A number of people have brought up ibuprofen in relation to the expression of ACE2 receptors. There was a long thread on reddit about it. My point is that any reliable information on ibuprofen does not necessarily allow us to make the same conclusions about ACE inhibitors and ARBs.
The bullet point about this topic was the final bullet point, and I put a clear warning in place on the bullet point (originally too, not as an edit). I did not pass off my opinion as if it were fact, nor did I claim to be an expert. I questioned why we still don't have better data on this, given how strong the coorelation is in people who have conditions that are treated with these medicines.
But I will concede one point: The list about the WHO was not the right place for me to bring up this topic, and putting it there was misleading.
- throwaway_pdp09 7y agoI appreciate the way you've taken my criticisms. You acknowledge you're not an expert which is much to your credit, and haven't amended your posts or done the usual wankers trick of just downvoting someone who disagrees. I like that. I can't speak for ACEs and ARBs. Let's agree to disagree on why we don't have better data on these. I trust doctors and the WHO on this. You maybe feel they can do more. I can't take the time to look into it, nor if I did, to interpret what I found. I repeat I appreciate your constructive attitude and have upvoted several of your posts and this one, because it's done in the right spirit. Good luck.
