Alaska Pol Who Shunned Masks Contracts COVID, Turns To Her Vibrator For Cure

Alaska Pol Who Shunned Masks Contracts COVID, Turns To Her Vibrator For Cure
State Sen. Lora Reinbold who infamously got permanently banned from Alaska Airlines for refusing to wear a mask is now treating herself with a Vicks inhaler and Ivermectin. And her vibrator.
By Ed Scarce


“Its my turn to battle Covid head on... game on!” Republican state Sen. Lora Reinbold wrote on Facebook on Tuesday night. "I am blessed to have gotten Ivirmectin [sic] the “de-covider.” My Vicks steamer has been a God send! [sic]" Ending with, “When I defeat it, I will tell you my recipe.”

Apparently, one of her cures is to use a vibrator. I suppose if you're home with nothing to do but be deathly ill...

JUNEAU — Alaska state Sens. Lora Reinbold, R-Eagle River, and David Wilson, R-Wasilla, have tested positive for COVID-19 and are quarantining at home, away from the state Capitol.
...
Reached by text message, Reinbold said she is resting and improving quickly using a variety of products, including vitamins, a Vicks steamer and the antiparasitic medication ivermectin. Ivermectin is not authorized for prevention or treatment of COVID-19 — federal health agencies and the drug’s manufacturer have warned against its use for such purposes, especially as many people have turned to formulations designed for animals, not humans — but it has gained traction on social media among vaccine skeptics and among conservative public figures.

The Eagle River senator has opposed COVID-19 vaccine mandates by sponsoring legislation to prohibit businesses and local governments from requiring vaccinations. She has also been a consistent critic of mask requirements.

She unsuccessfully fought the Capitol’s mask mandate and was banned by Alaska Airlines for her refusal to comply with that company’s mask policy.

It’s everywhere.

And this near constant need for everyone to “feel safe” isn’t helping.

Unless, of course, they've invested in one of those newfangled steam-powered vibrators. But even then, someone's got to shovel the coal.

She really should have put a flu shot on the list, if she doesn't object to that. From JHB's collection today:

Some people insist on doing things the hard way... I'm beginning to believe after stories like this and West that it has become 'fealty signaling' to catch the COVID virus after TFG (who has been vaccinated and caught a milder strain than Delta) did.

Two references to the "battle" in the FB post alone.

Notice she skipped the need to purchase the Covid tests in the first place and stopped after including the first price, for a low-end pulse oximeter. Even low end, this shopping expedition must cost most of a couple hundred. Not wise to just assume everything's in stock right now, either. Especially in Alaska?

1. Check your oxygen
2. Check your temperature
3. Take a deep breath
4. Inhale topical irritants
5. Go fuck yourself

These step-by-step instructions look very logical to me! And it makes the rest of the list a bit redundant, although "magic socks" sounds intriguing.

Nice new euphemism. Joins “choke the chicken” and “beat the bishop”, etc. in the thesaurus.
