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.
