We had 60,00-100,000 people in US dying from blood clots every year prior to Covid. My grandmother died because of a blood clot. I honestly don't care what other viruses those hundred of thousands of people had at the time of their death (HPV, Aids, flu, herpes, or any other possible virus on the Earth). We should not be joyfully celebrating these deaths and try to use one death out of hundreds of thousands to make our politically motivated point. I am honestly very embarrassed for the people from my party commenting on this thread.

Could not disagree more. This woman was spreading a dangerous anti-vaccination agenda and basically died by her own hand.

She died of a blood clot. This whole thread is misinformation.

Yeah, no. That's like saying someone who died of Kaposi's sarcoma just happened to also have AIDS.

And drink drivers die of a car accident

I know several folks who developed blood clots AFTER receiving the vaccine, including a 30-year old male colleague who almost died! And an elderly family member died within 2 days of getting his second dose, from a blood clot to his lungs. But we cannot discuss vaccine injuries or deaths because it's just right-wing conspiracies, right?

(note -- the spike protein causes the clots but the vaccines also generate the spikes.)

She died owning the libs. Truly a martyr who should be celebrated in death.

I kind of agree with the bold part.

With the wording actually in bold (the amount of hate is appealing) or the intended wording (the amount of hate is appalling)?

Kelly was opposed to COVID vaccine mandates and to other COVID restrictions (particularly beach closures in SoCal in 2020) throughout the pandemic. She was very vocal about those positions on Facebook and, no doubt, elsewhere. But believe me when I say that she was not a mindless Trump follower. She was smart, accomplished, and passionate. But ultimately misguided, and that has come with tragic consequences.

Kelly and I were poles apart politically and on COVID issues, but she was a good, decent person. Hard-working, committed to seeking justice for victims of crime (she was a Deputy DA in Orange County, CA), and genuinely compassionate. She was also loyal, had a great sense of humor, and was tons of fun to be around.

It's worth remembering that behind the public image of every "political" COVID casualty, there is a real person with family and friends. I am astounded that there are still people who refuse to get vaccinated (and Kelly was not vaccinated according to her husband, Mattias), but I take no pleasure if and when something terrible happens to those people. It's a tragedy every time. This one just happens to hit close to home for me.

RIP, Kelly. Gone much too soon. You'll be missed.

Thank you for this kind, humanizing post. I am very pro-vaccine and sometimes I find myself forgetting that people who hold dangerous positions like hers (meaning anti-vax) are still people with good qualities. I’m so horrified by what Trump and his followers have done to our democracy that I lump together everyone who thinks like them on any point, and my first reaction when I see a death like this is, “Oh well, they deserved it.” Obviously, that isn’t true and I need to work on it.

No, it IS true, and you shouldn't try to dumb yourself down.

We can talk about his if your elderly family member got COVID without the vaccine they most certainly would have died of a blood clot and vaccine injuries are way less than what would have happened without the vaccine.

But science, you know, is inconvenient for anti-vax right wing nut jobs.

Feel free to start a thread about your friend who almost died of a blood clot after a vaccine. This is about a public figure who actually DID die of a blood clot after contracting covid.

No you don't. You don't know "several" of these people. Liar.

I am tired and angry at you anti vaxxers and mask. I am sick of people like you being cuddled and accommodated. I do not know what happened to this country but in the past people like you were consider a joke and laughed at. I am blame you for prolonging the pandemic with your stupidity.

This thread is eye opening and embarrassing. I agree w the poster above. Celebrating a woman's death? Sick!!! I can't believe it's still up. Or actually I can.
