yup. Me too. However, I'm fully vaxed got it over Christmas and New Years (not fun quarantining during the holidays. I basically had a head cold and wasn't a big deal. From my understanding, if you are vaxed and get the Omicron ....its minor. This stuff is mild but really, really contagious . I probably know of 30 people who have it.
Omicron isn't a big deal regardless of whether you've been vaxxed. Only one recorded death in the U.S.
Arlington Republican activist, vaccine skeptic dies of COVID-19 complications
Kelly Canon, a longtime Republican activist in Arlington and vaccine skeptic, has died of COVID-19 complications.
Longtime Arlington Republican activist Kelly Canon, a grassroots organizer and vocal critic of vaccine requirements, died Monday of complications from COVID-19.
The Arlington Republican Party announced Canon's death on Facebook.
"Our dear friend Kelly Canon lost her battle with pneumonia today. Kelly will be forever in our hearts as a loyal and beloved friend and Patriot," the post read. "Gone way too soon. We will keep her family in our prayers."
Canon was recently hospitalized for COVID-19-related pneumonia, one of the most serious complications of the virus.
A month ago, Canon attended a symposium in Burleson dedicated to fighting vaccine mandates, according to her Facebook posts. Attendees included Dallas physician and vaccine skeptic Dr. Peter McCullough, who previously said on a Fox News show that there's "no clinical reason to go get vaccinated."
Canon said on Facebook in November that her employer granted her religious exemption request, so she would not be required to get a vaccine.
Canon was well-known for her successful grassroots campaign in 2015 to ban red light cameras in Arlington. They were later banned statewide.
A former vice president of the Arlington Tea Party, Canon left the organization in 2016 because of its support for a tax increase to build a new stadium for the Texas Rangers. Canon, along with a few others, created the Southeast Tarrant Tea Party, and Arlington voters passed the tax increase that year.
In 2017, Canon released a series of sexually explicit Facebook messages sent to her by then-Republican Congressman Joe Barton, who was married at the time. Barton was eventually forced to resign.

Wow, that article is a huge vomit of information. Instead of sorrow over the death of a young vibrant woman, it is politicizing her death. So what she was against a mandate. I am all for vaccination and educating people about the positives of vaccination, but against forced vaccination.
So a 46 year old died from Covid, I knew a triple vaccinated 61 year old from church who died from complications of Covid recently.
It has hit way to close to home on multiple occasions. She is just one example, I've known or known of, at least 5 people who didn't survive Covid.
I'm tired of the politics here. The virus is the enemy, not people.
Canon was apparently 62 and a diabetic, from what I have researched. I never heard of her, but I guess Oso thinks his article proves a point (though I am not sure even he knows what).
Though I'm sure she was somewhat nutty, I had her confused with a 46 year old who died from it, there is a website by vaccination fanatics where they are actually wishing death for anti-vax people, and posting their hate narratives about them when they actually die.
This particular poster was dancing on her grave.
Quote:
"Is it me or does anyone else gets misty eye when there is a happy ending such as in this saga of self delusion and irresponsibility."
They even had to change this ladies funeral there was so much hate aimed at this person. Yes and I realize she was an arrogant anti-vax person, that has no affect on me. She had no influence on me. She was still a person.
The people who are being this hateful towards her are mentally ill.
Get your vaccine, stay away from crowds of people you are not sure about, wear a mask when in close contact with folks you don't know and stfu about others you have no control over.
Don't wish death on vaccine nuts, or anti vaccine nuts or just normal people like me. Pray this epidemic actually does go away, and hope for the survival and health of everybody. Not because they think like you, but because they are a human being. Enough said.
