      Colin Powell's family said in an announcement on social media that he had been fully vaccinated. “We have lost a remarkable and loving husband, father and grandfather and a great American,” the family said.http://apne.ws/3Hs5AQJ

          Colin Powell, the first Black chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has died of COVID-19 complications, Powell served Democratic and Republican presidents but his reputation suffered when he made faulty claims before the U.N. to justify the Iraq war.http://apne.ws/ph4qeXY

          Colin Powell had been treated for multiple myeloma, a blood cancer, his longtime aide says. The condition impairs the ability to fight infection, and studies have shown that those cancer patients don’t get as much protection from the COVID-19 vaccines.http://apne.ws/1IoDnIS

          Many Iraqis remember Colin Powell mainly as the man who used misleading intelligence to make the case before the U.N. in 2003 for war against their country. Powell, who died today at 84, later called the presentation "a blot on my record."http://apne.ws/MPheO9o

          Despite getting vaccinated against COVID-19, Colin Powell remained vulnerable to the virus because of his advanced age and history of cancer. Powell's death highlights the continued risk to many Americans until more of the population is immunized.http://apne.ws/igQJe1y

          Didn’t he also have multiple myeloma? Why didn’t you report that along with his vaccination status? Why give the anti-vax crowd grist for the mill?
