Deputy District Attorney Who Opposed Vaccine Mandates Dies From COVID At 46



Orange County Deputy District Attorney Kelly Ernby, a California Republican activist who opposed coronavirus vaccine mandates, has died at the age of 46 from COVID-19, according to multiple media outlets.

Her boss, District Attorney Todd Spitzer, announced Erby’s death on Facebook on Monday.

“The Orange County district attorney’s office is utterly heartbroken by the sudden and unexpected passing of Deputy Dist. Atty. Kelly Ernby,” wrote Spitzer. “Kelly was an incredibly vibrant and passionate attorney who cared deeply about the work that we do as prosecutors — and deeply about the community we all fight so hard to protect.”

California Republicans paid tribute to Ernby on Twitter.

Jon Fleischman, former executive director of the California Republican Party, hailed her “love for politics, for America and the Republican Party.” He added: “Yeah, she had COVID.” .........(more)

I’m sure that Rep. Greene is fully vaccinated and boosted. So I don’t hold out much hope for her catching it

Uh...no. Given her antiscience behavior, it was not unexpected. At least for sane people.

She wasn't vaccinated by her own stubborn refusal, which means she also didn't wear a mask (unless absolutely forced) or avoid crowds of other unvaccinated people.

So, what was unexpected exactly?

Her relatively young age?

She wasn't the first person in her age group to die from Covid-19.

So?
