CHASKA, MN — Mike Lindell, the founder of the Minnesota-based MyPillow company, claims he can't contract coronavirus because he takes oleandrin, an extract of the oleander plant. Lindell's claim is unproven. "I can't get the virus, so I go around with confidence and it's pretty amazing," Lindell told the Star Tribune Friday. According to Axios, Lindell has a financial stake in the company that develops oleander. Lindell is the honorary chair of President Donald Trump's campaign for Minnesota. He spoke at the Trump rally in Duluth Wednesday. Lindell says he took COVID-19 tests this week and tested negative.
