Colin Powell, 84, died from complications due to Covid-19, his family said Monday.
"General Colin L. Powell, former U.S. Secretary of State and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, passed away this morning due to complications from Covid 19," the Powell family said in a statement posted on his official Facebook page.
“He was fully vaccinated,” they added. “We want to thank the medical staff at Walter Reed National Medical Center for their caring treatment. We have lost a remarkable and loving husband, father, grandfather and a great American.”
Powell was a distinguished and trailblazing professional soldier whose career took him from combat duty in Vietnam

God bless him and his family. I disagreed with him on some things and agreed with him on others, just like I do with most people. I'll remember him in my prayers tonight.

What they don't mention is if he had other health issues. He was 84 and could have had other health issues as well. What treatment did they give him for covid? I am sorry that he has passed.

They jist mentioned on Fox Business that he had multiple myeloma. I’d guess it’s more likely he died WITH covid. Multiple myeloma in an elderly person has a very poor prognosis.

He died from complications from the vac. They'll never admit it.
Well, good riddance I say. Looks like I can bust out the bubbly after all!
Clinton not stuffing it was a bitter disappointment but I'll take the traitor Powell kicking off as a consolation prize.

Having been fully vaccinated, Tony Fauci can claim credit.
Credit where credit is due.

He was an 84 year old man who died of multiple myeloma which severely compromised his immune system, and was carried off by an opportunistic infection, in this case a virus, possible Covid. Happens all the time.
84!

Other than the fact that Gen. Powell was all in for Obie given Obie's melanin content, I never had a bone to pick with Power. Rest in Peace, sir.

Gosh, that’s the first fully vaccinated person I’ve heard of who died of (or with) The Covid. Sad, he was a good person.

I was a fan of Powell until it came out that he knew within 72 hours that it was Richard Armitage who "outed Valerie Plame". He was such an honorable man that he kept his mouth shut through several years of a special investigator investigation. The Bush administration was savaged for several years, but he never once spoke up to stop it.
And then, he was so honorable, that he backed the Black guy over the "moderate war hero" for no other reason than he was black.
Thank you for your service through Bush Sr. Everything after that was a huge disappointment.

He was 84. He had cancer. Had the jab. Died from his body turning against him due to the jab, most likely. I’d be feeling something if he hadn’t turned on President Trump like the snake he was. I’m sure he’s answering for a lot right now. Wouldn’t want to be him.

#7, 13:
From Wikipedia article on multiple myeloma "is a cancer of plasma cells, a type of white blood cell that normally produces antibodies."
So yeah, he died of covid -- because his body's defense system was compromised.
(As I write that last sentence, I am again reminded of the irony of life.)

The family released the statement that he died of COVID complications. They did not refer any other medical conditions. They must have their reasons.

Too bad. He had a long life. A good one too.
We are all mortal folks. Each and every one of us has something out there with our name on it. Should the cancer be the blame or COVID? If he never had cancer, COVID probably would never have killed him. That tells me to blame the cancer.

Rest in Peace General Powell. I liked him until he came out the race closet under the Kenyan Clown. I'll have to think at his age with health issues the 'jab' did him in.

I'm sure General Powell's death comes as great news for the Biden Administration and Democrats in general. No, not because they had any disdain for him (Powell actually voted for Biden and publicly denounced DJT) but for the fact that today and in the days to come, much of the media's attention will be on the General's passing and not on the disastrous shipwreck that is the Biden presidency.

In the hospital with Wuhan virus, while fully vaccinated.
The "vaccine" protects does not protect at all.

Died with the virus, from 'other things'?
Or died from The Shot, which created those 'other things'?

He could have died in a car crash and it would have been, "Covid related".

Please note. He died with Covid complications. Didn't our glorious leader and the all knowing Fauci say that the vaccination, which Powell had, would keep him safe? And they still want the vaccine nay sayers to cave and get jabbed. Not going to happen.

As my top general during Operation Desert Storm Powell advised GHWB against the advice of the General in theater not to go after Saddam Hussein. Then he let GWB get beaten up by democrat partisan hacks like Pelosi and Reid. All because he knew that Armitage and not Libby outed that CIA flunky Plame. Then he votes for Obama twice all because he was Black. Just like over 90% of the dopey democrat Blacks. Then he joined the chorus of other Never Trump RINOs in denouncing the only president who in my humble opinion did more for we the people in 4 years than presidents since BJ Clinton have done in their 2 terms. The icing on the cake was his support for the PIAPS in 16 and for the current house plant wilting in the Oval Office. People keep telling me that Colin Powell was an honorable man. Well this Desert Storm veteran humbly disagrees.
