Fox News anchor deletes tweet suggesting Powell's death 'raises new concerns' about vaccine efficacy
The Hill ^ | 18 Oct 21 | DOMINICK MASTRANGELO

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.

What vaccine are you aware of that has ever promised guaranteed immunity to ‘all’?

Troll.

and Fox etc. etc. when it comes to the vax.
And Fox internal censorship when it comes to 2020 election fraud since Nov. 2020.

Take a wild guess why.

They’ve already had to change the definitions of “vaccine” and “herd immunity” to no longer providing any immunity whatsoever. Now they just need to change the definition of “rare breakthrough” to not making any meaningful difference.

This is an "Absurd Absolute" argument, J.

You lose.

An absurd absolute is a restatement of the other person’s reasonable position as an absurd absolute. For example, if your point is there is high crime in Detroit, the absurd absolute would be your debate opponent saying something such as “So, you’re saying every person in Detroit is a criminal.”

When your debate opponent recasts your opinion to include an “absolute” word, such as every, always, never, all, completely, universally, and the like, you are seeing cognitive dissonance.

I think there are stories that some doctors are seeing more cancers and more aggressive cancers, perhaps in vaccinated patients.

Fox News is a bunch of Country Club Liberals that are play actors.

They actually loathe the Republican base, and love to hate.

Brett Baier, John Roberts, Neil Cavuto, Chrissy Wallace.

They are just waiting to take out the Republican in the Presidential Debate.

“Also curious is how they had an agenda of being against the vaccine when President Trump was in office “

Isn’t that amazing. Nancy Pelosi herself said she wouldn’t take the vaccine when asked.

Makes sense to me, he went off without all the facts.

There was age and illness that included cancer, the type of cancer that throws a monkey wrench at the vaccine.

To blame the vaccine is just as silly as blaming the unvaccinated.

We need to stop with the vaccinated vs the unvaccinated in my opinion.

So-called "journalists" increasingly unable to use proper English.

No, no, no. Fully vaccinated people do not die from Covid. They only die from Covid related complications. Get with the program comrade!

I, for one, would much rather die from "COVID-related complications" than from COVID, itself!

Here in Germany, they have also changed the definition of "recovered."

Originally, it meant, well, simply "recovered."

Then the definition was changed to "recovered within the past six months."

Now it means "recovered within the past six months and has received a booster shot."

I think there are stories that some doctors are seeing more cancers and more aggressive cancers, perhaps in vaccinated patients.

The idiots with medical degrees were warned from the beginning by G Vanden Bossche and others that the natural immune system would be hurt by vaccines

YOUTUBE Innate immune system will be destroyed

Flash ahead to now. Doctors are seeing RARE, agressive cancers in vaccinated

RUMBLE Receptors that keep cancer and other things in check, are being suppressed by the so called vaccines

I would NOT want to be one of the idiots with medical licenses who was involved in the biggest scam in history when the masses find out that people will die needlessly because of their so called vaccine. Nuremberg Trials #2 will be just as severe on the guilty as the original trials were with the Nazis if this is proven to be true.

The hypothesis: vax compromises the immune system such that aggressive cancers will be common in the vaxxed has not yet been proven but that question is now being researched. The DimWITS failed at keeping the communication channels censored. Information is freely flowing on Telegram, Rumble, Gab...

Does it count as a cancer death or a Covid-19 death? Eh, I think I know the answer.

If only someone would suggest that to TPTB!

Powell’s death is a prime example of a person dying of one or more comorbidities that had covid.... or may have had covid depending on the test.... or may have died from the vaccine.

We’ll never know.

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.

Interestingly these are the first people they injected.

Powell was suffering from blood cancer and Parkinson’s disease as well as being 84. He didn’t die of COVID, but complications to his other health issues aggravated by COVID. He could just as well contracted a bad case of flu with the same result.

Vaccine = no Covid

Isn’t this how the formula works?

You get the vaccine and you won’t get Covid.

But…..you do…..

The formula is invalid.

I accept The Null Hypothesis.
