Colin Powell was vaccinated against Covid, but suffered from a cancer that makes the shots less effective
CNBC ^ | Oct 18, 2021 | Berkeley Lovelace Jr

Colin Powell, 84, died Monday morning due to complications from Covid-19.

Powell was fully vaccinated against the virus, his family said in a statement.

Powell was elderly, a known risk for severe Covid, and suffered from multiple myeloma, a blood cancer that studies show can make the shots less effective.

A study published in late July found that only 45% of patients with active multiple myeloma developed an "adequate" immune response after getting vaccinated with either the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccines.

Just 22% of patients in the study had a "partial" response....

Offit said fully vaccinated people with weak immune systems should also continue to wear masks and social distance indoors.

So much cancer therapy is immunotherapy these days I would recommend. cancer patients listen to no one but their oncologist on any vaccine or any other therapy that touches the immune system

There are many medical “experts” on FR that know better than MDs, NPs, CRNA, DOs, etc. I thought you knew that?!

Re: 77 - LOL!

Hit a nerve? Not with those comments. I can be offended but not by anything thus far posted on FR.

Boo!

Right....that’s why you keep vax trolling.

Keep it up. You’re making great points, for yourself. 😂

so basically a great argument not to get the vaccine if you have cancer.
~~~~

Not any such argument. Multiple myeloma is a cancer of a critical part of the immune system. People with MM succumb to pathogens on a regular basis. COVID is much harder on people with a list of comorbid conditions including autoimmune diseases. Multiple myeloma is basically a cancer of the immune system which causes comorbid autoimmune diseases. Besides MM, Colin Powel also had Parkinson’s disease. With Covid, Powell had three comorbid diseases.

Sadly, one can’t make the jabs less effective.

Colin Powell suffered from a cancer made more vicious by the vaxx taking down his natural immune system, already weak

There, fixed it

“Hey! Maybe the vax killed him? Who knows...”

Exactly, there is no effort by the CDC to determine the exact cause of death in any covid cases. It is all due to Covid regardless of anything, does not matter if vaxed.

The vaccine risks are irrelevant because the cause of death is covid.

That being said, sometime it is going to register on some non brain dead liberals that there are no lesser symptoms if you die because of covid while vaxed.

That didn’t take long. They forgot that little nugget in the original reports.

He also apparently suffered from Parkinson’s.

Thank you. It is hard when everyone else tells you to get the shot cause you got cancer and it’s a good thing and will protect you. And then tells you you doctor may be wrong, maybe get a second opinion on the vax. Meanwhile my doc has been treating me before and through covid and I trust her. And then I have no idea what to do with the mandate crap.

It’s like leave me alone already.

There were certainly things in some of his decisions to which many of us could object.

What bothers me is that so many people here have so little grace and respect that they don’t even allow someone to go cold and be in the ground before they condemn.

People here are always promoting respect for Life; but I think respect for Death, and for the fact that every one of us will face it, is just the other side of the same coin.

He was injected with multiple rounds of the poisons labeled COVID vaccines, but please ignore that, and blame something else.

One article actually claimed that Colin Powell would have been fine if he had gotten a THIRD injection of the poisons labeled COVID vaccines.

The poisons labeled COVID vaccines are an open door to coerce people into being injected with anything the government wants to inject them with.

The poisons labeled COVID vaccines, by flooding the body of the people injected with deadly spike proteins, eviscerate immune systems.
