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 did he die then from the Made in China virus, or from Cancer? And how many others were in the same condition when they caught the disease?

When you get to 85 you’re sort of playing with house money anyway, at least that’s my view of it.

Something we need to study….
covid mRNA vaccines have been shown to “reprogram” (i.e. influence) adaptive and innate immune responses and, in particular, to downregulate the so-called TLR4 pathway, which is known to play an important role in the immune response to infections and cancer cells.

We didn’t attribute his death to COVID. The hospital did! Stop being such a science denier.

“He was a good man. RIP, “

He let Scotty Libby be wrongly convicted in the Plame affair, he knew Armitage was the leaker but did not tell Bush.

Also, shouldn’t cancer patients be exempt from the vaccine since it is “less effective”

The shot presents risks which outweigh any purported benefits in AT LEAST some cases. In Powell’s case, it seems safe to say these REAL risks outweighed the SUPPOSED benefits. Exhibit A on why vexationation mandates are wronger than wrong.

Look at all the context in this story. Compare that to when Hermsn Cain died with COVID.

He was a good man.

No he wasn't, and I refuse to auto-mourn. That good guy stuff ended when he shook that little bottle of faux "yellow cake" and told the worked Saddam had it and was going to kill us all. It was a lie that killed millions. Tonight he's where he belongs.

Remember, they recommend the vaccine for cancer patients.

This time a year ago most people on this site would have said he didn’t really die from covid (because in their mind covid was made up to get trump)

Now people on this site say he did die from covid because the vacc doesn’t work or it somehow caused it (because being antivax has become politically motivating)

interesting evolution

They gotta put the spin on this to protect the jab. Here’s another black dude, like Hank Aaron, who got the jab and is dead due to “complications of covid”.

“This time a year ago most people on this site would have said he didn’t really die from covid “

Hasn’t really changed IMHO, it’s the CDC that caused defined him and dying from covid, and opposed to dying with covid.

But now there are forced vaccines of questionable risk and effectiveness in the mix, these vax’s were not there last year.
