3. Wow!

4. That doesn't

sit well with me but I assume he had underlying conditions.

6. Possibly but

sometimes with COVID there’s no rhyme or reason why some people get severe illness and others don’t.

9. Being 84 years old is an underlying condition unfortunately

Vaccines don't provide 100% protection, especially for the elderly.

10. True nt

12. And, it also depends on antibody levels

Mine are literally off the chart, but my sister's are less than 500, which is why she's been directed to get a booster already this week. She is 48, healthy, but sometimes vaccine immune reactions just don't take.

5. Antivaxxers are going to have a field day

[gojoe12]

7. Who cares what

they think. At 84 a good wind could have taken him out

[PJMcK]

8. I don't care

General Powell knowingly lied to the U.N. about the so-called weapons of mass destruction to justify the disastrous and foolish invasion of Iraq. His willingness to support Bush's war makes me question so much about this man.

11. Whenever I hear his name I remember him at the UN holding up drawings

represented as actual photographs of "mobile launchers" and other fake evidence of WMDs to lie us into a war.

Bye bye.

[BooScout]

13. He lied...

...and we went to war and thousands died. Never forget he sat before the entire world and lied, lied, lied. He doesn't deserve to rest in peace.

15. On DU, duplicate posts ONLY matter in the Late Breaking News forum.

Just sayin'

[Hortensis]

16. Sorry to hear that. RIP.
