"CNN’s Anderson Cooper on Tuesday slammed MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, an ardent President Trump
supporter, for pushing an unproven therapeutic treatment for coronavirus, sales of which could benefit him.
“You really are a snake oil salesman. I mean, you could be in the Old West standing on a box telling people to drink your amazing elixir that there's no proof [of],” Cooper told Lindell in an interview.
THE RESPONSE:
"Lindell defended his pushing of the drug, claiming he’s given it to friends and family and it “saved their lives.”
“I do what Jesus has me do,” he told Cooper"
WHY IS HE ON CNN?
"Lindell is pushing oleandrin as a potential therapeutic for COVID-19. Last week, he was added to the board of Phoenix Biotechnology, which makes oleandrin, receiving a financial stake in the company, CNN reported.
TO BE FAIR
Cooper asked him for texts/studies because he said they existed
he didn't produce them and instead said
"“One hundred percent, you’re just misconstrued, because the media is trying to take away this amazing cure that works for everyone,” he said. "
HOPEFULLY ITS SELF EVIDENT WHY THIS IS DANGEROUS
