Originally posted by Starlight View PostWrong. The vaccine greatly reduces the chance of someone getting and passing on covid.
I know you struggle with statistical reasoning and like things to be extremes of either 100% one thing or another, but try to understand the concept of risk mitigation. The vaccine, like seatbelts, can be highly effective without being 100% perfect.

Originally posted by Starlight View PostPeople who are immunocompromised in the extreme like Powell was are vulnerable individuals whose only protection against covid is other people being vaccinated to prevent them catching and passing covid to such immunocompromised individuals.
Those who refuse the vaccine are morally responsible for killing others around them when they predictably catch and pass on covid and it kills people.

Colin Powell lied in an international forum in order to promote a war that killed hundreds of thousands of people.
He signed off on a torture program.
Period.

I would suggest you are seeing what you want to see. There were a good number of articles on Powell on CNN yesterday, covering a range of topics about the man. Unfortunately, some conservative media decided to call into question the usefulness of the vaccines because Powell was in fact fully vaccinated yet died of Covid-19, and so part of the story was indeed to cover that element as well, along with a response to it as misinformation. It is not hard to anticipate what the anti-science, anti-vax crowd will do with information like that, and any good news organization has a certain responsibility to provide accurate information when such disinformation is widespread.

Just to see how it was covered, I checked Fox, CNN, and MSNBC. Fox and MSNBC had nice coverage covering his life and achievements. CNN focused on his dying from Covid. Any wonder I call CNN Covid Network News.Last edited by oxmixmudd; 10-19-2021, 08:25 AM.
