Don't Drag Colin Powell Into Anti-Vax Conspiracies
Having never run for office, Colin Powell received 3 Electoral Colleges in 2016. He was a remarkable man. In 1996, Republicans tried to draft Powell to run for office. Ronald Reagan, in 1994, tried to recruit Powell to run for President.
Powell never ran.
He went from a celebrated General to an American statesman. He lived an amazing life.
I write not to memorialize Powell. Others can do that far more capably than I can. I write on a side note. He died of COVID-19 complications and the ghouls have already started circulating it is proof the vaccines do not work.
Powell was 84 years old and suffered from multiple myeloma and Parkinson’s disease. The vaccine, like a lot of vaccines, is not effective against blood cancer and the therapies related thereto. That has been very well documented.
It is shameful that people would rush to use Powell’s death from COVID complications to claim the vaccine doesn’t work while ignoring his related health problems that made both the vaccine less effective and the effects of COVID more dangerous.
Colin Powell was a good man and a great American. Let’s not soil his memory with a lie to promote a conspiracy to placate an agenda he would have wanted no part of.
Multiple myeloma is an insidious cancer that is invariable fatal. The treatment is the full destruction of your bone marrow (where white blood cells are manufactured) and a rebuilding of the immunity system from scratch. In other words, the patients for this type of cancer are immune-compromised for MONTHS at at time.
Truly, "dancing on graves" is repugnant to thinking, caring Americans.
That sort of acrimony seen in the likes of leftists (Rush Limbaugh's death), BLM and the Woke must stand in stark contrast to conservatives' thoughtful prayer and meditation for those family members, friends left behind to mourn his departure.
