She said she was treating her case of COVID-19 with vitamins, a Vicks steamer, and ivermectin, an anti-parasitic drug promoted by anti-vaccine and conspiracy theory communities as a treatment for the disease.
"When I defeat it, I will tell you my recipe," she said. She also promised to stay out of the hospital. "Some of them seem like scary places these days," she added.
"We have notified Senator Lora Reinbold that she is not permitted to fly with us for her continued refusal to comply with employee instruction regarding the current mask policy," said a spokesman for the airline.
The ban came after a video posted to Twitter showing the state senator arguing with Alaska Airlines staff over the mask mandate.
important timeline note:
The airline banned her before she was diagnosed with Covid-19.
Leea's personal note:
Alaska airlines decision to ban this republican saved countless lives as it prevented her from spreading her infection widely outside of her own social circles.
