[Victory Girls] Oleander is toxic to cats, but may be effective in treating cancer, and just may be a much-needed treatment for combating the novel coronavirus. And while our do-nothings in Congress are busy bickering about how to best waste our tax dollars and burying us in further debt—with some of them doing their darnedest to help tank our economy and shove us into socialism—our military is reportedly hard at work researching, as a treatment for the novel coronavirus, the readily-available plant at its Fort Detrick biodefense lab:From reporter John Solomon, formerly of The Hill:
Dr. John Dye, chief of viral immunology at the USAMRIID lab at Fort Detrick, confirmed to Just the News that his team began testing the extract known as oleandrin a few years ago and found it was effective in fighting the Ebola and Marburg viruses. The Army lab is now ramping up a rapid plan to test oleandrin against COVID-19."More from Mr. Solomon:
" " ’We found that at non-toxic concentrations, oleandrin was efficacious at slowing and halting viral growth in tissue culture assays for the Ebola and Marburg viruses,’ " Dye said in emailed answers to questions."
"’Because those viruses are enveloped, just like COVID-19, the lab is pressing ahead to do similar tests on the theory that the extract may have similar effects on the coronavirus at the center of today’s pandemic,’ he said."
