Thinking on the devastation of unjust war and of willfully unchecked disease this AM.

At 84, Powell was vaccinated but it was ultimately not enough against delta/COVID that is still spreading across America. The message remains tho: #GetVaccinated to protect the most vulnerable.

2. Yes - but it also needs to be said that

Powell is one of those who can't build an effective immune respons to the vaccine - i.e. the very reason we need nearly everyone else to be immunized (to protect those who can't protect themselves)

6. Right on point

If Powell lived in New Zealand or another country that made a great effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19, would he have lived longer?

Because Covid was allowed to run wild for a year and a half until we developed the vaccine; because idiots refused to get vaccinated or even wear a simple mask, the virus has spread to people who can not develop an immune system.

9. "Died from covid complications" - kind of

Powell was suffering from multiple myeloma which is a cancer that attacks white blood cells. This condition just about kills the immune system. So, ANY illness - even the relatively mild symptoms from a covid breakthorugh infection - could cause death.

I'm worried that the anti-vax dick-heads will jump on this to support their "sound science" that people die from covid even though they've been vaccinated. Powell's case is a very, very special case with the intersection of a lot of adverse interventions of illness.
