Colin Powell, former general and secretary of state, dead at 84
NY Post, Oct 18, 2021

Republican former Secretary of State Colin Powell died Monday as a result of complications from COVID-19, his family said.

The 84-year-old former military leader, whose 2003 United Nations speech paved the way for the Iraq war, was fully vaccinated against the virus.

“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. He was fully vaccinated,” his family said in a statement on Facebook.

“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.”

It wasn’t immediately what complications he suffered or how long Powell had been in the hospital prior to his death.

He is survived by his wife of nearly 60 years, Alma Powell, and their three children.

In his four decades of public life, Powell was the first black man to serve as national security adviser near the end of Ronald Reagan’s presidency and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 1989 to 1993.

Note how the family deemed it necessary to proclaim his vaccination status.  His new friends would have thrown him overboard.

Sounds like Powell may have dies with covid, not from.  Wonder if he caught it in the hospital.   :pondering:

Aw, shucks, Bigun.
The sad thing is that the vaccinemongers really believe that and have said so publicly with regard to other Covid patients. Well, yes, he died, but thanks to being vaccinated, his symptoms weren't as severe as they might have been.  *****rollingeyes*****

The fact that Colin Powell died from a breakthrough COVID infection raises new concerns about how effective vaccines are long-term.

I think it's necessary to point out that commenting on Mr. Powell's fully-vaccinated status is not in any way mocking or celebrating his death from Covid. We are not leftists, after all. I'm sympathetic to his family's grief.

... used and abused by Bush '43 Administration to justify 2003 Iraq foreign adventure.

Another betrayal of Republican values by Bush '43.

What counts for 'fully vaccinated' these days?  Four shots total?

And there it is, the worst take on Colin Powell you'll see today. Clown.

Never let a crisis (or a death for that matter) go to waste.  Cue Paul Wellstone.
