Former US Secretary of State Colin Powell died on Monday of Covid-19 complications. His family announced that he was fully vaccinated. He was 84 years old, and had multiple myeloma, a blood cancer.
Health officials worry that anti-vaccine activists will seize upon Powell's death to make the claim that vaccines don't work. If you can still die after being vaccinated for Covid-19, what's the point of getting the vaccine?
CNN: When we see vaccinated people dying from Covid-19, how do you explain that vaccines are still worth taking?
Dr. Leana Wen: We need to start with the science and what the research shows. The Covid-19 vaccines are extraordinarily effective in preventing illness and especially severe disease. The most recent data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that they reduce the likelihood of testing positive for Covid-19 by six-fold and the likelihood of death by 11-fold.
That means that if you are vaccinated, you are six times less likely to get Covid-19 than someone who's unvaccinated. And you are 11 times less likely to die from Covid-19 compared to an unvaccinated person. That's really excellent.

And the goal posts keep on moving
“And the goal posts keep on moving”
In the democrats’ clown world, the goalposts are always kept moving.
“ Well, then, what does it mean?
That they ARE effective?”
Well, yeah, just like massive snow and ice in the winter is a sign of “climate change”.
“Dr. Leana Wen”
A crisis actor.
“So why did Colin Powell’s family even mention that he had covid?”
Because they thought everyone would blame the dirty unvaccinated untermenschen if they mentioned that.
Once again, no questions on Natural immunity.
Well you have to realize that without the vaccine, the victims would be much more dead then without it.
Ok, fine. But why does that data not seem to match the data being reported from most other countries in the world? Appears to be an “outlier” which is typically discounted.

No. It doesn’t work mostly.
I've heard that 86.7% of statistics are made up on-the-fly.
With these professional liars, I'd put the percentage closer to 100%.
Edited for clarity.
I would happily take that deal. But we both know that is not the deal being offered. Get the shot or lose your job. If you don’t have the shot, you wear a mask and get tested twice weekly on your time and at your expense. Get the shot or your ability to live, travel and shop is limited or curtailed.
I am happy that you have taken positive steps that you believe will keep you healthy. For me, I must push back everywhere I can because apparently, I missed the part in the constitution where my liberties can be limited by tyrants who manipulate the fear of others.
It’s called “learn by doing” and it’s very dangerous to the ones being experimented on.
"That's really excellent?" Who is this nimrod Valley Girl?
But what puts the lie to her, 6x .3% and 11x .3% are the same odds as the original .3% !! In statistics, it's called 'pushing a string', the odds of you dying from COVID with or without experimental serum are infinitestimal.
Sure everyone knows people who have died from COVID, and not just COVID Powell, but at least 2 recent ones I am dead-certain Delta killed them. By the odds, if I know 2000 people by name (ref. Gurevich, 1961), I should actually know 4 more.
I also know 2 people who died from the 2009 H1N1pdm09 virus under the White Hut. And the only reason Obama didn't make a go of this ridiculous charade back then -- oh he had the vaccine overnight, don'tcha remember? -- is Bobo's pollsters told him the world 'wasn't ready' and it would 'cost him 2012'
Bobo even had his own presidential advisory committee report (minus Fauxi!) loaded with the exact same panic language that was foisted on Trump [ "PCAST REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT ON U.S. PREPARATIONS FOR 2009-H1N1 INFLUENZA", note this is an official archived white hut .gov public PDF -- great reading for the parallels to 10 years later, but merited the White Hut warning ].
So meanwhile this mandate from someone who isn't really a "man" in any measurable way, distracts us from his other failures.
“Why do LIBERALS like to lie to themselves?”
It is because they rat voters only listen to the mainstream media. They are too stupid to want the truth!
I stole your haiku which isn’t a haiku but haikus no longer need to conform to patriarchal dictates and rules.
LOL! Bingo!
