Rest in peace.

He had been vaccinated, but was still vulnerable
to COVID.

[bigdog]

He was vulnerable because he had multiple myeloma, a cancer of the blood, which weakens the immune system and makes the vaccine much less effective. He was also 84, a high risk factor for developing fatal complications from COVID. No vaccine is 100% effective. What study after study shows is the vaccines greatly reduce the chances of developing life threatening complications if one contracts the virus. At the same time serious reactions to the vaccine are extremely rare. There is no doubt that getting vaccinated greatly reduces the chances of dying if one contracts the virus. Getting vaccinated is a no brainer. I am baffled by otherwise intelligent people who still refuse to get vaccinated. It makes zero sense.

You'll figure it out next generation.

Oh wait, you won't be here to see why.

Hint: Don't mess with DNA.

Liberals knew powell was full of crap WAAAAAY back in 2001, when trumptards like bigdog were bushtards and wetting their diapers over every word that came out of the texas tard's warmongering ass.

trumptards don't believe in vaccines since the Bible makes no mention of it.

"Fifty-seven percent (57%) of Democratic voters believe supporters of Donald Trump are a serious

party also consider the unvaccinated a serious threat. That's a higher level of concern than
Democrats express about the Taliban (44% see it as a serious threat); China (44%), or Russia (37%)."

bigdog never voted for Bush43 because bigdog knew he was a phony conservative.

[bigdog]

I probably wouldn't be around had I contracted the COVID virus before I got vaccinated. I'm 69 years old, overweight, and diabetic. It's not a stretch to think being vaccinated has already saved my life. I don't know if I have contracted the virus or not but I do know that because I am vaccinated, there is very little chance I will become gravely ill because of it. The vaccines work to prevent needless deaths. Pigheadedness does not.

Saddam Hussein has spent the better part of this decade and much of
his nation's wealth not on providing for the Iraqi people but on
developing nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons and the missiles
to deliver them."
-- President Bill Clinton (State of the Union Address), Jan. 27, 1998

"One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to
develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them.
That is our bottom line."
--President Bill Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998

"If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is
clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's
weapons of mass destruction program."
--President Bill Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998

"No one has done what Saddam Hussein has done, or is thinking of
doing. He is producing weapons of mass destruction, and he is
qualitatively and quantitatively different from other dictators.""Iraq
is a long way from [here], but what happens there matters a great deal
here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use
nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is
the greatest security threat we face."
--Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998

"He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten
times since 1983."
--Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb, 18, 1998

"[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with
the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including,
if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to
respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its
weapons of mass destruction programs."
Letter to President Clinton, signed by:
-- Democratic Senators Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, John Kerry, and
others, Oct. 9, 1998

"Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass
destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region
and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process."
-Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998

"Hussein has ... chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass
destruction and palaces for his cronies."
-- Madeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999

"There is no doubt that ... Saddam Hussein has reinvigorated his
weapons programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and
nuclear programs continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War
status. In addition, Saddam continues to redefine delivery systems and
is doubtless using the cover of a licit missile program to develop
longer-range missiles that will threaten the United States and our
allies."
Letter to President Bush, Signed by:
-- Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), and others, Dec 5, 2001

"I mean, we have three different countries that, while they all
present serious problems for the United States -- they're
dictatorships, they're involved in the development and proliferation
of weapons of mass destruction -- you know, the most imminent, clear
and present threat to our country is not the same from those three
countries. I think Iraq is the most serious and imminent threat to
our country."
-- Sen. John Edwards (D, NC) Feb. 24, 2002

"We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a
threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the
mandate of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass
destruction and th! e means of delivering them."
-- Sen. Carl Levin (D, MI), Sept. 19, 2002

"Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible
to deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as
Saddam is in power. We know that he has stored secret supplies of
biological and chemical weapons throughout his country." "
-- Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002

"There is no doubt that Saddam Hussein's regime is a serious danger,
that he is a tyrant, and that his pursuit of lethal weapons of mass
destruction cannot be tolerated. He must be disarmed. We have known
for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons
of mass destruction."
-- Sen. Edward Kennedy (D, MA) Sep. 27, 2002

"Now let me be clear -- I suffer no illusions about Saddam Hussein. He
is a brutal man. A ruthless man. A man who butchers his own people
to secure his own power. He has repeatedly defied UN resolutions,
thwarted UN inspection teams, developed chemical and biological
weapons, and coveted nuclear capacity. He's a bad guy. The world, and
the Iraqi people, would be better off without him."
-- State Senator Barack Obama (Democrat, Illinois) Oct. 2, 2002

"The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. We are
confident that Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and
biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course
to build up his chemical and biological warfare capabilities.
Intelligence reports indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons..."
-- Sen. Robert Byrd (D, WV), Oct. 3, 2002

"My position is very clear: The time has come for decisive action to
eliminate the threat posed by Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass
destruction."
-- Senator John Edwards (D, NC), Oct. 7, 2002

"We stopped the fighting [in 1991] on an agreement that Iraq would
take steps to assure the world that it would not engage in further
aggression and that it would destroy its weapons of mass destruction.
It has refused to take those steps. That refusal constitutes a breach
of the armistice which renders it void and justifies resumption of the
armed conflict."
-- Sen. Harry Reid (D. NV) Oct. 9, 2002


"I will be voting to give the President of the United States the
authority to use force -- if necessary -- to disarm Saddam Hussein
because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction
in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security."
-- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002

"There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working
aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear
weapons within the next five years ... We also should remember we have
always underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of
weapons of mass destruction."
-- Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D, WV), Oct 10, 2002

"He has systematically violated, over the course of the past 11 years,
every significant UN resolution that has demanded that he disarm and
destroy his chemical and biological weapons, and any nuclear capacity.
This he has refused to do"
-- Rep. Henry Waxman (D, CA), Oct. 10, 2002

"I come to this debate, Mr. Speaker, as one at the end of 10 years in
office on the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, where
stopping the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction was one of
my top priorities. I applaud the President on focusing on this issue
and on taking the lead to disarm Saddam Hussein. ... Others have
talked about this threat that is posed by Saddam Hussein. Yes, he has
chemical weapons, he has biological weapons, he is trying to get
nuclear weapons."
-- Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D. CA) Oct. 10, 2002

"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports
show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and
biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his
nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to
terrorists, including al Qaeda members ... It is clear, however, that
if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his
capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying
to develop nuclear weapons."
-- Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002

"We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence that
Saddam Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing
capacity for the production and storage of weapons of mass
destruction."
-- Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), Dec. 8, 2002

"Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal,
murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a
particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to
miscalculation ... And now he is miscalculating America's response to
his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass
destruction ... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass
destruction is real..."
-- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003

"People can quarrel with whether we should have more troops in
Afghanistan or internationalize Iraq or whatever, but it is
incontestable that on the day I left office, there were unaccounted
for stocks of biological and chemical weapons."
-- Ex President Bill Clinton, Jul. 22, 2003 (Interview with CNN Larry
King)

I asked very direct questions of the top people in the CIA and people
who'd served in the Clinton administration. And they said they
believed that Saddam Hussein either had weapons or had the components
of weapons or the ability to quickly make weapons of mass destruction.
What we're worried about is an A-bomb in a Ryder truck in New York, in
Washington and St. Louis. It cannot happen. We have to prevent it
from happening.
-- Rep. Richard Gephardt (D, MT) Nov. 2, 2003
