So a while after her first shot, my Wife's Aunt is laying in the hospital and apparently dying. She was fine before the shot. The Doctors don't know what's wrong with her other than to say Covid.
Got into an argument with my wife about the cause. She had the the nerve to tell me that her Aunt is messed up because she didn't receive the 2nd shot.
...My Wife is an effin idiot.
There, I feel all better now.

And you're just a prince among men...
I'm shocked -- just SHOCKED I tell ya! -- that your wife didn't appreciate your omnipotent and omniscient pontificating on the cause of her aunt's suffering and (apparently) impending death. Does your wife not realize how wise and helpful your sage words are? Much less how awesome possum it was of you to tell her???
I'm pretty sure your wife doesn't deserve you....

Because you are referring to a second shot, I assume that she received one shot of either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine, both of which require two shots for full effect.
The average response is that 80% of people getting one shot of either of those does not develop symptomatic COVID19. 95% don't get symptoms after two shots. That doesn't mean that someone who has one or two shots can't get infected with the virus, it simply means that their immune system is able to respond quickly and effectively when they do get infected and squash the infection before it creates enough viral load to cause severe illness.
IF it is true that your wife's aunt has COVID19, that means her immune system was not functioning well enough to produce strong antibodies after the vaccine was administered--she's not in the 80%. Then it would also make sense that her immune system was not functioning well enough to fight off the infection, once it occurred.
I would think that if she didn't respond strongly to the first shot because her immune system isn't very good at creating antibodies, she probably wouldn't have responded strongly to a second shot either. So not having the second shot is probably not the reason she has severe COVID19 symptoms.
On the other hand, having one shot of the vaccine wouldn't have done any harm either. It just didn't help. The reason she has severe symptoms is probably because she has a poorly functioning immune system and got infected with the virus.

There's a lot of rumors going around about the body becoming dependant on 'enhanced antibodies'. It may be more then just rumors, as top doctors, researchers, and noble prize winners in the field are making these claims. There is speculation prior to your post that the only way people will continue living after getting the vaccine is by 'boosters'. To keep the immune system boosted until they figure out how to 'ween' people off of it.
Any Drug dependancy is bad, as it shuts down vital systems that create those things because they are no longer 'in use'. Prior to this, it is seen in drug addicts, but even worse then that. Those addicted to pain medication.
With pain medicine addiction, they don't start out that way or even break their dr's orders. They can take the medication prescribed and literally become addicted to it. To the point that just breathing without being on pain killers is excrutiatingly painful. A soft breeze is like being stabbed a thousand times over.
She may actually be right, do not discredit her. The truth will be known soon enough, keep your ear out and report back to others who might of 'missed the shot' or a 'booster' in the future.
Best wishes, and hope she pulls through.
But you should have a little more sympathy either way, a family member is dying. Fighting over why without more evidence isn't the answer. You need to be there for each other. Not going head to head about a global experiment and what may or may not of gone wrong. IF your wife believes its because she missed the second shot, see if the Dr's will administer it. If she gets better then you have your answer, especially if they are already clueless. There would be no harm in trying when she's already given the death sentence.
At the very least, it will give your wife some peace. Then you can move on to other possible causes and not just call it 'covid'.
But no matter what happens, be there for each other.
She should have been in the damn kitchen making him a damn sammich.
