Oleander??????? The mypillow moron is touting OLEANDER as a miracle CoViD drug? Poison!!

Oleander is a poison, called "the suicide drug".

I thought I remembered that oleander is toxic, but wanted to confirm. Called my favourite herbalist, who was horrified when I told her what he was saying.

On the other hand, there is Darwin's natural selection. . .

oleander, hydroxychloroquine, and bleach is a sure cure. Oh, and a lightbulb up the bum can't hurt either.

What have you got to lose?

Maybe it's homeopathic. One drop of oleander solution in an Olympic-sized swimming pool... and all of the other droplets of water "remember" what they're supposed to do. (I guess the first drop talks to the rest of them.)

It's water. The equivalent of someone spilling a glass of grape soda into lake Michigan and people on the other side of the lake saying the water tastes like grape.

Just a pint a day of high octane fuel down your gullet and you won’t need anything else— ever. It will cure you completely from coronaviruses. All of them. *Warning: if you experience mild heartburn at any point after swallowing your favorite brand of gas, stop immediately and contact your local Republican Party headquarters. They’d like to showcase your efforts by interviewing you for their RNC convention. You can also get a referral to their favorite undertaker.
