It has been put forth by anti-vaccination people that Colin Powell's death from covid happened in spite of his having been fully vaccinated. That assertion is utter nonsense.
1) Vaccination is not a 100% guarantee of anything. Nothing is ever a 100% guarantee of anything, only largely effective as anti-covid vaccinations have shown themselves to be. Your odds of staying alive through the pandemic are much better with vaccination than without.
2) Colin Powell was of advanced age, eighty-four, and was also a cancer patient. His cancer was "multiple myeloma". That same cancer was also the cause of death for actor Mark Lenard who portrayed Sarek, Spock's father, in Star Trek.

Breakthrough covid infections are known to be more likely in the elderly which Colin Powell was and more likely in the immunocompromised which Colin Powell also was.
Please don't fall prey to the fallacies of those who would dissuade you from those measures which will aid you in protecting yourself.
