Republican political activist Kelly Ernby, a fierce critic of mandatory vaccinations in her home state of California, and active in Republican politics, served 10 years as a deputy district attorney in Orange County. That should have given her the benefit of the doubt for some common sense. Nevertheless, Ms. Ernby often weighed in on vaccine mandates, saying:
"I don’t think that the government should be involved in mandating what vaccines people are taking. I think that’s a decision between doctors and their patients. We have evidence that there are side effects and things that happen — not all vaccines are the same. Ultimately, we need to be very careful. If the government is going to mandate vaccines, what else are they going to mandate?”
Ms. Ernby won't have to worry about vaccines these days, since she passed away -- unvaccinated -- from COVID-19, at the early age of 46, but not before she gave an anti-vaxx speech a month ago:
"As recently as Dec. 4, she spoke against them during a rally held outside Irvine City Hall. Organized by the UC Irvine and Cal State Fullerton chapters of Turning Point USA, the rally drew dozens in attendance, according to the Daily Titan, a CSUF student newspaper.
'There’s nothing that matters more than our freedoms right now,' Ernby said."
Not even death, apparently.
