PIERPONT:
Donald Trump is enlisting the help of MyPillow Guy, Mike Lindell, to push another snake oil COVID-19 treatment.
Mike Lindell, Trump mega-donor and CEO of MyPillow, recently took a large financial stake in the biotech company that manufactures oleandrin, a drug that is now being pushed as a treatment for COVID-19.
Doctors warn there are no peer-reviewed studies that show that oleandrin is safe or effective for treating COVID-19, but despite this lack of supporting evidence, Donald Trump is now fast-tracking FDA approval.
What medical expertise does Mike Lindell have? Absolutely none.
Our nation's public health should be in the hands of experts like Dr. Fauci, not Donald Trump’s billionaire buddies who manufacture pillows.
The Committee to Protect Medicare won’t stand by while American lives are put at risk from COVID-19 and this new snake-oil treatment being pushed by friends of the White House.
