Great read

@donovan

Thx for read. Last night I was reading a story about a soviet labor camp and the author mentioned all they would give the prisoners was aspirin because it "was thought to cure every disease." lol. I was thinking I'm surprised I haven't seen a long "history of aspirin" thread on X, especially with the interesting IG Farben slave labor factories, nazi war effort, and medical experiments.

@MB Potassium Iodide had a similar reputation but in physician circles.
