Colin Powell

Colin Powell, the first Black US secretary of state , has died from complications from COVID-19, his family said on Facebook.

"General Colin L. Powell, former U.S. Secretary of State and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, passed away this morning due to complications from COVID-19," read a statement posted to his official Facebook page.

"He was fully vaccinated. We want to thank the medical staff at Walter Reed National Medical Center for their caring treatment. We have lost a remarkable and loving husband, father, grandfather and a great American."

Powell's leadership in several Republican administrations helped shape American foreign policy in the last years of the 20th century and the early years of the 21st.

As CNN reports, his national popularity soared in the aftermath of the US-led coalition victory during the Gulf War, and for a time in the mid-90s, he was considered a leading contender to become the first Black President of the United States. But his reputation would be forever stained when, as George W. Bush's first secretary of state, he pushed faulty intelligence before the United Nations to advocate for the Iraq War, which he would later call a "blot" on his record.

Powell was 84, and was suffering from multiple myeloma, a blood cancer that attacks the B cells which are a crucial part of the immune response to COVID.

Former president Bush has issued a statement:

Of course, what the MSM wants to know is - had he received his booster?

Comment: The Hill reports on the Fox anchor that hastily deleted their tweet:

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.

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."

Long term? It's been barely a year and and it takes a few months for the data to come in, meaning that these vaccines aren't effective at all, not even in the short 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.

His age more generally puts him at risk of death, however none of these points were taken into account before when the government was actively trying to up its Covid death tally.

In a series of follow-up tweets, Roberts explained he'd deleted the tweet because it had been interpreted as being "anti-vax."

A thought crime in 2021, whether or not the point be valid.

Roberts said he had encouraged people to get vaccines and that he also though booster shots could be important.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, among the 187 million vaccinated Americans, there have been roughly 7,000 breakthrough cases resulting in death, Peter Hotez of the Baylor College of Medicine noted. 6,000 of those are over the age of 65, suggesting a breakthrough case leading to death is extremely rare.

As always, these are just the ones that we know about, and it would appear that the vaccines don't protect the most vulnerable, which was apparently the whole point. Moreover, it's likely the vaccines put them at a greater risk of harm both directly from a compromised immune system but also from increasing the virulence of mutations and increased shedding by the vaccinated.

The tweet from Roberts, critics said, also could lead to more vaccine hesitancy. More contractions of COVID-19, including among the vaccinated, are more likely because of the nation's large unvaccinated population.

We know that this isn't true, and Israel - as just one example - being one of the world's most vaccinated populations, and suffering record levels of reinfections and severity, in the vaccinated, is proof.

Fox News has actively promoted vaccination to its viewers and has implemented a vaccine requirement for in-person employees, despite some of its hosts still questioning the necessity of vaccination and criticizing state-ordered coronavirus lockdown measures and vaccine mandates.

Just "Covid complication", so, just a coincidence.

The vaxx is safe and effective, so get it ASAP.

Move on, nothing to see here !

He died with Covid, not from it. This is the same dishonesty in reporting we've been railing against. Like that 14 y.o. Canadian girl who died from brain cancer which was then reported across the country as a Covid death.

Still, it illustrates that like the disease, the vaccines are also overhyped.

Also, couldn't have happened to a nicer war criminal.
