Mike Lindell is the CEO of MyPillow. It’s a pillow business! So, when he claims that oleandrin is an incredible breakthrough in the fight against COVID-19, you know you can trust him. But hey, if the medical opinion of a pillow company manager is not enough for you, you can be sure that supplement is secured by the FDA!
Except, no. To all this.
Oleandrin is a poisonous plant that could maybe do something good for someone, somewhere, for something. To date, however, there is no peer-reviewed study that is useful, in any capacity, in the fight against COVID-19. Then there is this thing where the Food and Drug Administration is not responsible for checking supplements. Did I mention that Lindell was successfully earned $ 1 million for making medical claims on his company’s pillows, back in 2016?
However, all of this is cool because Lindell is consulting with a medical professional. Dr Ben Carson said the use of Oleandrin was absolutely staggering to deal with a disease that has killed more than 173,000 Americans, and not to mention the COVID-19 scores of deaths, worldwide. Yes, Dr. Ben Carson: The Oreos Man.
Anyway, here’s Anderson Cooper who accidentally investigates Lindell and his bullshit during an 11-minute interview. Enjoy.
