But yes, vaccinated people can develop blood clots and heart complications just as those who are unvaccinated can.

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.
She may have been smart, but she made a very stupid decision about her health.

why do you say that?
Omicron is milder, much more contagious, many people are asymptomatic and vaccine and booster will not prevent you from getting it. Delta is more dangerous and it kills, but vaccine stops it.
If she was unvaccinated, Delta probably got her and killed her. If she got omicron she probably would survived even if she was unvaccinated,
Omicron appears milder because so many people have prior immunity from infection or vaccines. It is definitely manifesting with more pulmonary embolisms and cardiac issues according to several HCWs. I am surprised that so many find this so surprising.
She was symptomatic according to reports that I saw - that she told friends she was very sick with Covid.
This is the first I have heard about it.

I am so sorry for your loss. A cautionary tale that even the smart and decent people can be misguided. If you don't want to vaccinate, then I guess you just have to become a recluse and mask extremely carefully. You cannot be going to rallies with mostly unvaxxed and unmasked Trump supporters. The truly evil GOP anti-vaxxers are probably all vaxxed and stocked up on the expensive meds secretly.
