Genevieve Peters, a woman who went viral for recording herself refusing to wear a face mask at Trader Joe’s last week, revealed she’s now experiencing a “sore throat and lymph nodes.”
In the video, which was uploaded to YouTube last Thursday, Peters took of her mask at the Trader Joe’s checkout and refused to put it back on when asked by a worker at the store.
“I’m in a public space,” Peters protested, incorrectly. “I’m uncomfortable wearing a mask.”
“I’m not endangering you because I’m a healthy person,” Peters said.
Peters then went on to make a scene for 20 minutes, arguing with workers, before finally leaving the store. But in a bit of creeping irony that was flagged by Right Wing Watch’s Jared Holt, things have taken a turn for Peters.
On Thursday, exactly one week after uploading her video, Peters uploaded another video to her Facebook page — which has over 7,000 followers — captioned, “Health Update after yesterday’s sore throat and lymph nodes.”
On her Facebook page, Peters describes herself as a “Rabid Lover of America, Freedom, the Constitution and the GREATEST PRESIDENT Donald J. Trump!”
