10. From the article you're selectively citing

"But the connection between coronavirus and ibuprofen may not be direct. “Unfortunately, with so many places experiencing patients with COVID-19, almost inevitably we’re going to see some strange associations, and it’s hard to know what’s going to be real and what’s noise,” says Dr. Larry William Chang, associate professor of medicine, epidemiology and international health at the Johns Hopkins Medicine in Baltimore.

Still, “I’m not aware of any specific mechanism that would make it harmful to use NSAIDs in the presence of coronavirus infection,” Klausner says."

The reason the WHO rescinded its first statement is because there's no real evidence that ibuprofen is harmful for COVID-19, as pretty much even the articles you're using now state. Why you're insisting on this crusade is a mystery, but not one I'm particularly interested in anymore. The existing articles all undermine the claim in the OP.
