          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

          Well, sadly, that event really changed public opinion about him and he never recovered from it.
