Colin Powell has died due to complications from COVID-19

Sorry to hear the news about General Powell. You will be missed and remembered Sir.
 
Hate to tell you antivaccine supporters General Powell He was 84 years old when he died, well into the elderly age group that has been most ravaged by the virus. He had also been diagnosed with multiple myeloma, which can reduce the body’s ability to fight infections.

You're an idiot. Let's see you explain how my baby g-son infected three of the eight people who had close contact with him when he first came down with it. If the vaccine doesn't work, why didn't the rest of the family -- all of whom are 100% vaccinated -- get it as well?

My wife and I, both 67, are currently recovering from breakthrough COVID. Despite being vaccinated in March, it kicked the shit out of us. Got it from our asymptomatic, unvaccinated grandkids. They attend school in a district full of anti-vaxxers and anti-maskers.

My wife received monoclonal antibodies. I did not. Other than that, we did not see a doctor nor require hospitalization. Thank goodness for the vaccine. Scary to think of the outcome without it.

Glad to hear you are both ok now

Powell suffered from multiple kinds of cancer and was 84. But, you’re too stupid to know how that affects one’s immunity.

I have a friend that has liver cancer and contracted COVID and he survived COVID. My brother in law did not have cancer and he was double vaccinated but he recently died from COVID.

I'm so glad that you're both okay. Do you feel like the monoclonal antibody therapy helped her recover faster than you did w/o it?

Stay well.
