Other than having no clue what you are talking about...good points.

I'm saying that there's a chance Powell had an unfortunate false sense of security because he got vaccinated causing him to be less careful than he would have if he were unvaccinated. Don’t try to walk it back now…..These are your words not mine: Would he have been better off being unvaccinated but extremely cautious? the answer is no, he wouldn’t have been better off. The best course of action for ANYONE looking to prevent infection is to get vaccinated. There’s literally zero chance that you have less risk of infection after vaccination.

October 18, 20215 yr % of total cases a bit high but could be false positives From September 27th – October 3rd, fully vaccinated individuals accounted for: 2,352 positive tests (Statewide Total: 10,632) 17 COVID-related hospitalizations (Statewide Total: 834) 2 COVID-related deaths (Statewide Total: 98)

October 18, 20215 yr Colin Powell's death should remind us that older COVID patients with multiple comorbidities result in worse outcomes no matter what precautions are taken. He was a cancer survivor over 80 years old. So we ought to be doing our best to curb spread of the virus: getting vaccinated, staying socially distanced, wearing facemasks in public, washing our hands and practicing good hygiene, etc. But there is no 100% cure for COVID besides death. You won't catch COVID when you're dead. RIP Colin.

I have posted the numbers, vaccines work, if you are vaccinated chances of dying are almost zero.

Thanks. Socially distancing doesn't mean you have to lock your doors, quarantine at home, and stay there forever. It means when you do go out, be aware of your surroundings, who's around you, and leave a buffer between yourself and people you don't know. If you approach somebody, take precaution and wear a facemask. It won't kill you to wear a mask for a few hours when you go out.

Given how things turned out he really couldn't have been any worse off. There's a chance he would have never contracted covid if he didn't get vaccinated because he likely would have been far more cautious. Obviously we'll never know. Either way, it's very sad. RIP in peace, Colin.

RIP in peace, Colin. How much more cautious could he have been, he got vaccinated. That’s the best step in being cautious against Covid. Maybe he could have triple masked and never left his house, but not getting vaccinated is in no way being cautious.
October 18, 20215 yr Speaking of social distancing, my 27 person poker league starts again on Friday. 27 dudes, the majority unvaccinated, probably around a third of which don't even believe coronavirus is anything more than a common cold at three tables usually in an enclosed garage. Goes without saying there will be zero masks. We made it through last season without any outbreaks. Should be interesting this year.

No telling if the vaccine is, ironically, what made him feel comfortable enough to contract the virus. Very sad either way.

If you are older and feel it is best to take extra precautions then do so. So you will never go to another sporting event, tough to keep a buffer there. No more concerts for you, better do online shopping forever.
