A source tells the gossip outlet that Vicki was *“choking on something”* and that Tamra *“did the Heimlich”* maneuver to save her life. Vicks adds that she loved filming *RHUGT* with Tamra because the BFFs don't often get to spend time together. *“I’m just so busy with work, and I travel a lot, and I go to Mexico every other week, and I’m in Chicago. I’m really traveling a lot and it keeps me happy,”* she explains. *“And so Tamra and I don’t get to see each other as much as we want. We talk every day, but we don’t get to see each other as much as we’d like.”* Meanwhile, Vicki also confirms that she and Dorinda did get into an argument about COVID-19 vaccines. *“It’s different where I stand now, but at that time, which was September of last year, quite a while ago, it’s a different stance than where I am now,”* the RHOC alum says, adding that she believes getting the vaccine should be a *“personal decision.”* *“I told [Dorinda] it’s political and she didn’t agree and if it’s not political then why is the government mandating it?”* she explains. *“So, you can believe what you wanna believe, but the facts are the facts. So, she has her opinions and I respect it, I just didn’t think she respected my opinion.”* In September, Vicki confirmed to *DailyMail.com* that she hasn't gotten the vaccine due to *“underlying issues.”* *“I cannot get the vaccine,”* she claimed. *“I’ve got blood clots. I have a health exemption.”* *The Real Housewives of Orange County *airs on Wednesdays at 9 pm EST on Bravo. ## Thoughts on this all?
