United Airlines has reportedly banned a family from its flights after a two-year-old was not “complying” with its mask mandates.

Eliz Orban took to Instagram to explain how she and her family were removed from a United Airlines flight from Denver to Newark after her 2-year-old child struggled to keep her mask on.

“We just got kicked off the flight because our two-year-old would not put on a mask, and we tried,” Orban said tearfully, adding that the airline was still sending their luggage to their destination.

The video then shows the child struggling to allow the mask over her face, prompting the United flight attendants to order the Orban family off the plane.

Orban’s Instragram post gives further details:

This just happened 7 hours ago and I am still sitting here in confusion, disbelief, disgust and humiliation. ⁣

My husband grew up New Jersey, I’ve lived there twice before we got married, and we had spent a long time there together. It’s truly our second home. A tradition that we have is to go see the Rockefeller tree every year. It’s a tradition we also wanted our 2 year old daughter to experience. ⁣

⁣
Some of our closest friends/family that had grown up with (including his childhood best friend who had moved to Slovakia years ago and hasn’t even met our daughter, and some of our other friends we call family flying in from Cleveland) were going to be there tonight and tomorrow so we can all spend time together for the first time in years. ⁣

We were very excited about this weekend trip to jersey/NYC. ⁣

⁣
We are premier silver members at @united , so we always fly with them. In fact, we had flown with Edeline 4 times already since the pandemic, without ever having an issue. ⁣

⁣
Today, we were asked to leave the plane after it had rolled out, and they had to bring it back to the gate, because our 2 year old daughter would not “comply” and keep her mask on. ⁣

⁣
She will be 3 in April of 2021 for all that will have to ask. ⁣

⁣
And what blows my mind even more is that the WHO recommends against face masks for kids under the age of 5. AGAINST. And this decision was “based on expert opinion on childhood developmental milestones, challenges with mask compliance, and the autonomy required to wear a mask properly.” ⁣

 

As has been exhaustively covered, COVID-19 poses little risk to children, according to CDC data.

The mask cult is going into overdrive.
