This is a great reminder, thank you for pointing it out. Interestingly during the 1918 Spanish flu aspirin was a new drug and was given to people in an effort to reduce fever. The problem is they gave it in doses that we now know is toxic. There is some evidence that patients treated in hospitals with aspirin had a 30x!!! deathrate vs those treated "homeopathically". This YouTube video goes into the history and context of it ...

I beleive in modern medicine and science but we should be careful about being overly optimistic and harming people by giving them a powerful drug that hasn't been tested properly.
