Deputy District Attorney and GOP activist Kelly Ernby wasnt vaccinated when she died early this week after contracting COVID-19, according to comments her husband has posted on social media.
Despite the news, Republicans leaders who counted 46-year-old Ernby as a friend and who agreed with her opposition of vaccine mandates said Tuesday that their positions havent changed.
I intend to continue, if invited, speaking out against the mandates, and also saying that my choice is to get vaccinated and I believe that should be the choice most people make, absent a genuine health concern or absent a religious objection, said Orange County Third District Supervisor Don Wagner, who spoke with Ernby at an anti-mandate rally in Irvine on Dec. 4.
As to whether lending his voice to such events might discourage someone on the fence from getting a vaccine or if his position poses a threat to public health Wagner said most people know the stakes and have already made their choice.
When news of Ernbys death broke Monday, her vaccination status wasnt clear. Friends and colleagues contacted by the Register only knew that the Huntington Beach resident opposed vaccine mandates even before COVID-19 arrived, campaigning against such laws as far back as 2019. And Ernbys family still hasnt been reached for comment.
