Meanwhile, where's Condoleezza Rice, the first female African American secretary of state?

She wasn't even active in the last administration.

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell has died due to complications from COVID.

He was 84 years old.

His family released a statement on Facebook saying: '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.

'He was fully vaccinated. 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.'
The four star general was the first black secretary of State.

He served under several Republican administrations – including for Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush.

Also, from 1991-1993 he served as the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff for Bill Clinton after being appointed to the post by Bush Sr.

I like how they tactfully avoided mentioning the fact that he has been battling multiple myeloma (cancer) for a very long time.

Those monikers saying trash about Islam, your comeuppance, like the fate of those before you, is near. Though when you get repaid in full for your arrogance now, it may not be readily connected to your faceless handles. Anyway, that is how inconsequential you all are in the grand scheme of things.

Mad people full this Seun's forum

If giving evidence is madness, counter it with your own evidence, mumu. Go and read ur bible u will not hear but when hard Biblical evidence are presented to u u become mad and start calling ur people who are head and shoulder above u in all respects names. Learn manners.

Callous Powell was a war criminal. I pray that he reaps what he sowed. Several muslim/Christian Iraqi men, women and children died because of his and Bush's and Blair's lies about Saddam's Weapons of Mass Destruction. Rest in hell, Callous Foul!

Vaccines work.He had multiple myeloma which put him at a higher risk.

Wow, it is scary to think that General Colin Powell died of Covid19 despite being fully vaccinated against Covid19. Perhaps his age of 84 increased the risk of him getting bad symptoms despite being fully vaccinated.

All the same this death serves as a reminder to all who are fully vaccinated to keep wearing those masks and continue with the social distancing that has been advised for the past 2 years, until this terrible disease fades away.

He had multiple myeloma which put him at a higher risk also the unvaccinated are a big threat to the vaccinated hence why it keeps spreading and mutating thereby becoming more dangerous

He was fully vaccinated against covid yet died of the virus and they are still forcing us to take the vaccine.

Settle down and read do you know what vaccines do you don't know the work of a vaccine.

What complicated his case was the fact that he had multiple myeloma which is highly dangerous there are a lot of vaccinated folks who survived covid

Grammar. Isn't d vaccine supposed to guarantee immunity despite old age and "underlying health conditions"?

Yes it does that was why Jackson and his wife didn't die despite being in their 70's and hospitalised.Powell had multiple myeloma which put him at a much higher risk of death just because of less than 1% doesn't disprove the efficacy of the vaccines.

Yes it does but there are exceptions he also had a critical underlying illness called multiple myeloma.

Go and learn you are beginning to embarrass yourself was that what the scientists told you.Since we all know pain relievers and other medicines have side effects why do you still take them since it doesn't guarantee everything.
