Which is what I wrote about on another thread. At that age, simply getting the vaccination could kill you.

And we all know that he had access to the best medical care possible.

Senior Citizens die of the flu all of time even though they get the flu vaccine.  Its because at that age, you have a seriously compromised immune system.  Colin Powell was 84 years old and a vaccine would help very little.  I take it that youve not been vaccinated

I've met 2 ladies clinically in the 80s who survived Covid unvaccinated and unventilated.  Mitochondrial Generics which is why my mother sat in the house with a positive 7 yr old carrier and didn't develop one symptom! As far as Colin, that's debatable.  They could predict up to 90% accuracy via serum tests if he would develop a Covid Cloud in his lungs but no one bothered.  What are Moderna and Pzifer's stock prices this morning?

Yes. Also, Powell was battling cancer. All he needed was a systemic inflammatory response to likely tip him over.

He was a staple of our times in some respects.

 And I also came to a sad conclusion about my father's battle with Covid.

I'm no medical professional, but I believe my father's lungs were compromised, before he got Covid.

My father never drank and never smoked. Unfortunately, my mother was at least a pack and a half a day smoker. He was taking in second hand smoke for 40 years.

I believe, that's the major factor in why his lungs couldn't take it.

How many people think of that?

Compared to my mother, your mom was a light smoker. My stepdad who smoked cigars on occasion and didn't inhale, died with lung cancer although the official cause of death was heart failure. They were together for over 30 years.

I am all for people getting vaccinated. However, there are people who have been fully vaccinated like Powell who still contract COVID and are presumably contagious once they do. Even if 100% of the population were vaccinated there would still be some folks getting sick with the virus, infecting others and perhaps dying.

He only had a fighting chance of survival because he was vaccinated. We'll never know who gave him covid but statistically it was likely from someone unvaccinated. To Oak's point this is why the more people vaxxed the better.

More likely, the cancer treatments compromised his immune system and caused him to pop positive on the test.

That's not the legal definition of vaccine. There are dozens of different definitions on that page because the definition is contingent on how the lawyer that filed the brief will be using it. Also on that page:

Vaccine means a biological product authorized or licensed by the FDA to prevent or provide protection against COVID-19, whether the substance is administered through a single dose or a series of doses.

and this

Vaccine means any vaccine recommended by the federal advisory committee on immunization practices of the centers for disease control and prevention.

Actually, if you test him 3 times per week out of his pocket, at no cost to the team or taxpayers like flunky stuff, a vaccinated carrier would be far more of a threat to him.  Sickness and Stupidity.  Then again, Kareem can't risk them cutting his SSI so he gets to be the Buffoon of the Day

Have to make sure the vaccinated are protected, LOL.  Does anyone see how that doesn't make any sense? How many shots will they need before full protection?

The word “vaccine” had to be redefined for the Covid jab, much like the word “gender” had to be redefined for the trannys.

So now people can walk around saying they’re “vaccinated” just like “women” that walk around with dicks between their legs.

Using words incorrectly may make the ignorant “feel” good, but “thinking” you are vaccinated will keep you from dying about as well as “believing” a man can conceive a baby will get him pregnant. In both examples the ignorant are taught a brutal truth of nature that cannot be denied.

No, it shows you have an answer or retort to free-thinking people but are more concerned about pushing your agenda. You represent the battle that is going on in this country right now. Some believe in the Constitution and that this country was founded on Liberty and Freedom. Then there are those like you who paid zero price in receiving and enjoying this freedom which came at a very heavy price and is something unique in human history and therefore takes it for granted. You believe in more government control and believe that an anointed few know better and what's good for an individual than the individual himself.

I don't need a vaccine because I have the natural antibodies now. However, that doesn't keep me in the clear for supposed, variants.

There are studies that show the opposite so for me, it's a wash. It doesn't justify the government coercing people to get vaccinated. If you accept the premise that the vaccination protects you from the virus (though nothing is 100%) then what do you care if others are protected or not? Do we restructure our entire society, give the government more powers to control what we do to ourselves, on the chance that a vaccinated person will still catch the virus? If that is the case, then the vaccination itself is not worth getting because of the many long-term unknowns.
