Cooper v. My Pillow Twitiot

My Pillow Twitiot claims an extract of oleander can cure covid and Cooper challenges him, even saying he's a snake oil salesman. Cooper keeps asking Pillow about the test and he finally mentions the test that was done on cancer patients. This article discusses the testing that's been done, one of which indeed showed promise in test tubes. There is an approved clinical trial being done on people but as yet no result verifying it as a cure for cancer. So what about its use on Covid?

"So where is the COVID-cure buzz coming from? A July 2020 study out of Texas showed that, in test tubes, oleandrin could inhibit the coronavirus in monkey kidney cells. But this study has not been peer-reviewed or published yet. And while Phoenix Biotechnology exec Whitney also told Axios on Saturday that 'we have provided' human clinical evidence to the FDA, he would not share what that evidence is. The United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) also conducted some preliminary testing of oleandrin against SARS-CoV-2 (the novel coronavirus causing COVID-19). The results were 'inconclusive,' a spokesperson told Axios."
