Just because someone thinks something stupid about one or more things doesn't necessarily make them wrong about all things. A remedial course on logic might help you.

Aristotle believed the earth was the center of the universe. Does that make all his discoveries of mathematics untrue? Answer is self-evident.

Oleander extract was not just stupid -- it was a quick buck snake oil "medicine" concocted with the My Pillow grifter -- no moral or shame whatsoever -- disgusting.

Are you sure there is no scientific data supporting oleandrin? Did you investigate any primary sources or did you get your information from secondary sources (who can be biased with profit motives for more expensive therapeutics)

No - but Ben Carson did got Covid-19 and I vividly remember how scarred he was and how grateful and servile he was that he got with Trump's help top medical help and survived.... One of the more despicable characters surrounding our insane clown.

So in other words your opinion has no basis in any actual scientific evidence or lack thereof. If you had actually bothered to do any cursory research you would have easily discovered that there were good reasons to see oleandrin as a promising COVID treatment at the time he was talking about it.

Re. Aristotle -- he believed that women have fewer teeth than men --he didn't bother to count their teeth... ;-))

In physics Aristotle was nearly 100% wrong on practically all subjects.

The church for some reason adopted his beliefs and discarded of other Greeks -- humanity lost about 1,000 years because of resulting science paralysis - until Galileo...
