Monday night it was announced that Orange County California Deputy District Attorney Kelly Ernby died of COVID-19. She was 46 years old.
Although it is not known for sure if Ernby was vaccinated for COVID-19 before her death, it is known that she railed against vaccine mandates and while it’s sad for anyone to die—old or young—it’s difficult to be sympathetic when a vaccine that could save a life is right there in front of you, and you refuse to take it.
Ernby, who ran for state assembly in 2020, had become a leader within the Republican Party of Orange County. She fell ill just after speaking out against vaccine mandates at a rally in Irvine, California, organized by Turning Point USA on Dec. 4.
Drawing parallels between the 1960s and today, Ernby said that in the 1960s people faced the possibility of losing their freedoms to socialism. “There’s nothing that matters more than our freedoms right now,” she said at the rally, according to the Daily Titan.
Ernby was the daughter of two Navy veterans. Her brother is a Marine.
She worked as an Orange County deputy district attorney for over a decade, focusing on environmental law and consumer protection cases. She also served on the Orange County Environmental Law Enforcement Task Force, the southern section of the California Consumer Protection Council, and the California Military Consumer Protection Task Force.
“It was an absolute privilege to fight the good fight alongside Kelly,” Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer posted to Twitter Monday. “Her passion and her shining light will be forever missed.”
In 2020, Ernby ran for the 74th Assembly District seat on a platform of bringing conservative values back to California. She declared she was against sanctuary cities and even before the pandemic, she was against vaccine mandates in schools.
“I don’t think that the government should be involved in mandating what vaccines people are taking,” Ernby said in a 2019 online town hall meeting with Mark Newgent Live. “I think that’s a decision between doctors and their patients … If the government is going to mandate vaccines, what else are they going to mandate?”
The Orange County GOP released a statement on her death, saying she died after a “brief illness.” The statement added, “Kelly was an incredible patriot and leader in our party. She spent her career fighting to give people a voice.”
Ernby was an outspoken activist supporting the campaign to recall California Gov. Gavin Newsom, calling him a “dictator.”
“I’m sick of watching Gavin Newsom, our dictator, shut down our schools, shut down our businesses, shut down our churches, and I’m really sick of the fact that criminals have more rights than law-abiding citizens,” Ernby told a cheering crowd at an August rally.
According to The Mercury News, Ernby was a Huntington Beach resident and the presumed 2022 candidate for the assembly. She is survived by her husband, Axel.

Karma Can Be A Bitch
Wow. No more fucking for that idiot.
Republicans are evil.
Pendeja.
Apparently, some people are wearing sanitary pads in their shoes to fight-off Covid-19. It's true. You can look it up.
Too Gay, I know.
It'll never play in macho Brownsville.
This bitch railed against government mandating masks and vaccinations, saying such things were between a patient and his/her doctor.
Uh, what about abortion, Mama?
Republicans say doctor/patient relationship be damned in that case.
Fuck you, even tho you're dead!!!!
Word is Florida Gov. DeSantis has Covid. The Republican appeared at a news conference and was clearly gasping for air, looking sick. He'd been out of sight for a week.
One by one, they are dying.
(Pos esta bien, que no?)
It’s nature’s way of telling you something’s wrong.
"She is survived by her husband, Axel."
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha aha ha ha
(He took the vaccination and didn't tell her)
What an idiot. No brains.
Dumb blonde.
"Look, a dead bird?"
"Where?" she says, looking up to the sky.
Don't mean shit Juan. Lots of vaccinated people are getting covid. The unmasked and vaccinated are the spreaders. Lots of vaccinated people dying of heart failure. Learn to think critically.
Abbott officially launches reelection campaign in McAllen
The racist republican city of the RGV. Thinks that mojados vote, big mistake estupido...
Dead people can't vote pendejos racist republicans don't take the shot...idiotas
Crooked Democrats vote using dead peoples voter cards. That's what dead people voting means. Indio pendejo.
It’s very very rare for a person with both vaccines and the booster to die of Covid
One can always count on the gloaters to celebrate the death of someone who doesn’t buy the group think. They never gloat when a vaccinated sheep dies.

Red-ass racist republican y un idiota pale mulato
Vaccinated people don't die from covid. They die from heart failure associated with the covid vaccine.

Idiota los gringos will never read your stupid meskin writings, go to BISD and learn tex-mex, AT LEAST, JOTO.
The commenters on this thread are a hateful bunch for sure and for certain.
She chose the high road!
The mainstream media are not reporting the reason Bob Saget died. He had gotten vaccinated and got the booster weeks before his death. Also, during a hearing back in November concerning a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request on the Pfizer mRNA vaccine data held by the Food and Drug Administration, lawyers for the FDA argued it would take some 55 years for the agency to fully vet and release all the data used to assess and approve the vaccine for use. This is due, the FDA claims, to the snail’s pace at which the agency can spare personnel to sort through the mountains of data and make it ready for public consumption. As noted at the time, many people who receive the vaccine today will not be around in 55 years, let alone 75 years. I told you many times, how unsafe the vaccine is. The FDA are dragging their feet on releasing important information concerning the vaccine. All you government Lab Rats are now fuk, enjoy your anal cancer, por pendejos! Hahahaha!
