FULLY VACCINATED.
He was 84, had blood cancer and other issues to go with it. A common cold would have put him over the top.
And his blood cancer prevented him from generating an immune response.
If you have renal failure and are given a prognosis of a year, then subsequently suffocate to death from pneumonia three months later, it’s not the renal failure that killed you, it’s the pneumonia
@Valore Dramack I have friends that are 84 to 94 and they are vital animated healthy ppl and some still drive everywhere they please. They are healthy conscientious vegans and not vaxed. So my point is that 84 doesn’t mean you have to die. Also the ‘virus’ is not a death sentence. I can’t really say the ‘jab’ is not a death sentence because it hasn’t been tested long enough. So sad for Colin Powell.
@Managua Managua not when other people who think they have the right to infect others show disrespect and entitlement to spread the virus.. And a vaccine is not 100% nothing is. So tell me how many other people who have been fully vaxxed have died from covid. 2 maybe?
The vaccine is a placebo.
@GladiatorSlows I can post all kind of anecdotal stories and things I heard online. The amount of proof about vaccines and covid from variety of different countries and different sources is so overwhelming that if you still believe its all conspiracy, you are just too stupid. Maybe it’s not your fault. You and people like you who believe in conspiracies like moon landing or flat earth just have bad genes. Maybe you were born stupid. It’s okay.
He finally found wmds…from fort detrick.
Sad but true my freind

Karma perhaps…
Remember when this guy pushed the president into going to war in Iraq? lol
Were does it say he pushed George w bush to invading Iraq? Someone prove this! I believe it was George w bush who was thirsty into going to Iraq for oil, so does anyone have proof that Collin powell pushed George w bush into invading
@Quentin Baggett oil all about oil money
@jimmy crackcorn and casualties, like we really needed to invade Iraq or any other country we have enough bullshit in America to deal with,
He won the first gulf war in a month and a half. He resigned over the 2nd one
@UCUxpsZCZFwz3EIO1p0j7ycw I remember when the United States went over and took down saddams statue I cheered for that, but that also lead to other concequnses for america to be a global target we didn’t need
FULLY VACCINATED
And Powell had multiple myeloma, a cancer of a type of white blood cell.
He was an 84 year old man with cancer, and had gotten double vaccinated. And yet somehow, they’re treating this as “just another COVID death”. Give me a break.
This man was also responsible for the US invasion of Iraq. My condolences to his family, but I can’t claim to feel too bad about his passing. His decisions late in his career led to a lot of unnecessary suffering.
@Imani Smith 🤣 wouldn’t call that political view point. Dude is one of many that lied to create a war, thousands of dead Americans are on his hands and hundreds of thousands of innocents in the Middle East. May he rest in hell
Naw he wasn’t responsible for that that had to be your President Bush responsible for that war in Afghan
And that 911 b*******
You said it, man.
I highly doubt it.
But I do love the sad music used to sway the emotions of the gullible.
I prefer the wacky outro music they used to lighten the mood.
I didn’t hear the music try our band Foxzen Ways Out is a song on YouTube
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
You know he got all the shots
HE WAS VACCINATED BUT HE STILL DIED. a vaccine does not guaranteed you nothing….
Powell had multiple myeloma, a cancer of a type of white blood cell.
“Follow the science”! Let’s go Brandon!
when are you gonna marry brandon?
Powell had multiple myeloma, a cancer of a type of white blood cell.
@Bart Man ill marry him once we string up Joe Biden
You forgot the fully vaccinated part
HE WAS VACCINATED BUT HE STILL DIED. a vaccine does not guaranteed you nothing….
@Managua Managua um the polio vaccine is an actual vaccine that works.. Have you had polio? Sit down..
Vaccines improve your odds of surviving, but there’s not a lot they can do for an 84-year-old with blood cancer.
@RuffnTuff2021 well since 1979 there hasnt been a case of polio in America.. Pretty good..
Even if Iraq had WMD no legal right to invade a sovereign country.
Plus he was fully vaccinated!
@EM Lut next week that pretzel Will finally finish off George Bush and they will call that covid related too lol
@EM Lut Showing the mad scientist jabs aren’t entirely worthless by any means 😉
By the way, he was fully vaccinated!
HE WAS VACCINATED BUT HE STILL DIED. a vaccine does not guaranteed you nothing….
And compromised by multiple myeloma, a cancer of a type of white blood cell.
May he find the peace that the war he orchestrated denied to so many.
As in life, he’s working with the devil to wage more war.
Perfectly said!
RIP, Mr Powell.
Hello suzi
But he’s vaccinated right
RIP how about he passed away from being old can we leave the other stuff out of it
“Complications From COVID-19- Code language for The Jab/”vaccine”
So much for getting vaccinated will make it a mild case if you get it!
Thank you for your service to our country, and for what the Bush administration did to you.
For the record: I am not a Bible scholar, and have no formal training in any way. In fact, I am a High School dropout and have never taken a college course or any theology classes. I’ve never read a ‘Commentary’ on any Scripture, I can’t read Hebrew, Greek or any language other than English.
I say all that to say this: If you glean anything from what I’m about to say you need to know it is from the Living God. Not me. The confidence I have in His word comes from Him. The faith that I have in His ability to transform and redeem lives comes from Him and from personal experience. The knowledge I have of the Living God (the God of the Bible) comes from knowing Him and His inspired word, and my understanding of it comes from the indwelling of His Holy Spirit. I do not proclaim to know all that there is to know about the Lord, but what I do know I am grateful to have the opportunity to share with you. The Lord gave me LIFE when I was living in the deepest darkness…with no hope…or a future… and I am here because I was not alone in that darkness and I want YOU to know the God that saves. [If you don’t already] . And If you do, then I pray you will join me in my quest to bring God’s glorious light into the darkness that is consuming our world. Not for my sake…but for the sake of those who are still lost. Join me in crying, “Come to the cross of Jesus! He is MIGHTY TO SAVE!”
You need to know that there is irrefutable evidence that God’s word was written by One who knows the end from the beginning, so don’t believe the lie that all believers in Him have a ‘blind’ faith that is based on ‘feelings’, and nothing more. Many of us came to Christ with blind faith [with little to no knowledge of God], but if we’re growing in our relationship with Him and the knowledge of His word we will grow into a mature Christian that cannot be swayed by false teachers, mockers, or staunch unbelievers, for how can we deny one we KNOW? And how can we not defend the One who has redeemed us, transformed us, and given us eternal life?
I am not still following Christ with blind faith…but am, rather, walking towards heaven with my eyes wide open…confident in the God I serve……………and I just want to make my Heavenly Father proud.
The word of God says that we have all sinned. All of us. And sins penalty is death. The good news of the Bible is that God loves us so much He didn’t want us to have to pay the penalty for our sins so He paid the penalty for us! He literally died for us…so we wouldn’t have to! And because he’s God he rose from the dead to prove that He was who He told everyone He was…and, [His word tells us] to prove that He was successful in doing what He came to do. To pay the penalty of our sin in full.
So does that mean that everyone gets to go to heaven now? No. Everyone could….but everyone won’t. Because not everyone is grateful that Jesus died for them. And some people don’t even feel guilty for their sin. They like sinning. And for that reason they will reject Jesus. Some people just don’t believe in Jesus. Some are so crazy they don’t even believe He ever even existed, even though there’s irrefutable evidence and proof that He did. And others think they’re pretty good people…and think they can earn their way to heaven because of that goodness. The problem is they’re comparing themselves to other people. People who are worse than them of course. And we don’t get to go to heaven because we’re “better than our neighbors.” No sin can enter heaven. None. Period. And bottom line is only those who have repented of their sins…asked Jesus to forgive them for their sins…believed that He died for their sins…and asked Him to save them…will go to heaven. God made heaven. It belongs to Him. And He is the One who gets to decide who can go there, and who can’t. He has made a way for all of us to be able to go to heaven…but many people are so arrogant they think they can do it “there way” and still get there. 🙁 They’re wrong.
To repent means to not only admit you have sinned…but to be truly sorry in your heart for sinning as well. [Not sorry because you got caught…but sorry that you ever did it…there’s a big difference.] Repentance is the key ingredient to salvation that many people overlook. They think they can just pray a prayer…like it’s magic or something…and be saved. But that is not the case. Repentance is a requirement because God only forgives those who are sincerely sorry for what they have done. Just saying “I’m sorry” is not good enough…it’s all about what’s in our hearts.
Think of it this way. Do you have any siblings? Or cousins? Or someone in your life that’s done something to hurt you…that then had your mom or dad or someone tell them to apologize to you for what they did? And then they looked at you and said, “Sorry,” in such a way that it was obvious they were not sorry and were only saying “sorry” because someone in authority over them was making them do it? That is the opposite of “repentance.” It’s only words. It meant nothing because they didn’t mean it and they wouldn’t have even said it if they hadn’t been made to. Now, if you can tell the difference between when someone is truly sorry, and when they’re just saying “words” how much more can God…who knows everything! Our every thought! Our every deed! If we’re not truly sorry…we will not be forgiven. But, if we are truly sorry…and we ask Him to forgive us…He will do it! Immediately. And when we do that…and we believe that He paid the penalty for that sin…and all of our sin…and ask Him to save us…He will do it. Immediately. It’s all about what’s in our heart. Being sincere.
And, if you don’t know Jesus yet, then today you can ask Him to forgive you for your sins…[but only if you mean it]…and you can repent of them…tell Him you don’t want to keep sinning and you need His help to change…and put your faith in what Jesus did for you on the cross…paying your sin debt in full. The choice is yours, the Lord has given you a free will…and He loves you so very much. But He will never force you to love Him in return.
We are, right now, very late in the Biblical “end days”…and the return of Christ for his church prior to the start of the tribulation that will follow is “at the door,” so I hope you’ll consider what God’s word has to say about the days we’re living in and those that are soon coming, because although people can still place their faith in Christ after the rapture they will then lose their lives as a result of their newfound faith as the Antichrist will have no tolerance for those who choose Christ over him. Only 1/3 of those who enter the tribulation will still be alive at the end of those 7 years. The horror of it is, quite simply, incomprehensible. 🙁 If you don’t yet know Christ…please…please don’t wait. Today is the day of salvation. Jesus desires for all to be saved…for none to perish, and we know from His word that is why He has tarried in these end days before coming! But…He will come…soon…because He is the God of His word…and if He said it…He must bring it to pass.
