Original Note:
This is false. Mike Lindell never developed a cure for COVID. Lindell promoted Oleandrin as a COVID cure, a compound derived from the oleander plant. Oleandrin is a deadly plant poison, not a COVID cure. There is no clinical evidence this extract has efficacy for COVID. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/health/oleandrin-is-a-deadly-plant-poison-not-a-covid-19-cure https://www.forbes.com/sites/rachelsandler/2020/09/04/fda-rejects-oleandrin-extract-pushed-by-mypillow-ceo-as-a-dietary-supplement/ https://www.axios.com/2020/08/16/trump-covid-oleandrin
