Fox News anchor John Roberts deleted a tweet on Monday that suggested former Secretary of State Colin Powell's death from COVID-19 complications raises "new concerns" about the long-term efficacy of inoculation.
Powell's family announced his death in a statement that also said the 84-year-old had been fully vaccinated.
He also reportedly had been diagnosed from multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer that weakens the body’s ability to protect against infections.
Roberts's deleted tweet said "the fact that Colin Powell died from a breakthrough COVID infection raises new concerns about how effective vaccines are long-term."
It was met with an immediate backlash online, where plenty of those responding noted that Powell's age and specific health history put him at a higher risk for COVID-19.
In a series of follow-up tweets, Roberts explained he'd deleted the tweet because it had been interpreted as being "anti-vax."
Roberts said he had encouraged people to get vaccines and that he also though booster shots could be important.

Much ado about nothing. Colin Powell was 84 and had cancer. COVID-19 was the grim reaper who told him it was time to go, as simple as that.
Censorship in all media including talk radio and Fox etc. etc. when it comes to the vax.
Must have got a phone call from Paul Ryan’s secretary.
“Mr. Ryan was deeply concerned about your disturbing remarks and interpretations of this news story. He will be contacting your Progam Director to clear the air.”
who were CP’s enemies?
You must never question the “vaccines”.
They are “safe and effective”.
He’s correct. We’ve all been sold a bill of goods from the beginning - get the jab and we’ll all be immune. Get the jab so life can go back to normal. Get the jab to protect yourself and others. Etc. etc. etc. Now we’re seeing the jab doesn’t work like they said it would. You know. Science.
No, no, no. Fully vaccinated people do not die from Covid. They only die from Covid related complications. Get with the program comrade!
What vaccine are you aware of that has ever promised guaranteed immunity to ‘all’?
None.
Few points: 1) People who have multiple myeloma and who are receiving chemotherapy have gaps in their immune system and are very susceptible to sudden catastrophic infection 2) Many people are colonized with COVID-19 in their nasopharynx, will test positive with swabs but do not have invasive active disease. When they die of serious underlying disease, usually no autopsies are performed but the death certificates will inevitably list COVID often as the cause of death. Fits the currant narrative. 3) IMHO Powell died from a pneumonia caused by an encapsulated bacteria.
Thou shalt not critique thy Vaccine Almighty.
Thou shalt not speak “thy Vaccine’s claims are vain.”
So muzzle up, peasant!

Curious how we had no issues with the vaccine until the Xiden domestic enemy cabal took power through the coup.
Also curious is how they had an agenda of being against the vaccine when President Trump was in office but now they are fanatically for it.
But don’t worry folks, it hasn’t been tampered with. They just don’t want our foreign replacements currently coming over the border by the hundreds of thousands, soon to be millons, to take it
And yet if he wasn’t vaccinated, you would be saying the opposite.
Do all vaccines work this well?
Chickenpox (Varicella)
Diphtheria
Flu (Influenza)
Hepatitis A
Hepatitis B
Hib (Haemophilus influenzae type b)
HPV (Human Papillomavirus)
Measles
Meningococcal
Mumps
Pneumococcal
Polio (Poliomyelitis)
Rotavirus
Rubella (German Measles)
Shingles (Herpes Zoster)
Tetanus (Lockjaw)
Whooping Cough (Pertussis)
If so, we are screwed!
They said you would not get covid if you got the vaxx. My how short memories become when defending the vaxx.
The cancer limited immune response to both vaccines and infections themselves. He was unfortunately in a bad position regardless of vaccination status or vaccine efficacy.
No one ever said the vaccine was 100% effective...ever - and certainly not for someone who has medical conditions which inhibit immune response to both vaccines and infections themselves.
Do you militant antivaxxers *ever* make an argument from a position of fact and truth?
