Colin Powell had a degenerative nervous system disease (Parkinson's) and was also undergoing treatment for blood cancer (multiple myeloma). He was also 84 and was about as "at risk" for dying from COVID as you can get, even full vaccinated. The vaccines are great at preventing severe COVID requiring hospitalization in most individuals, but they are not 100% effective and they are not a cure. A lot of people seem to have never fully grasped this.
