Colin Powell, US’s former Secretary of State, has died due to complications from COVID-19, his family said on Facebook.
His death comes even after being fully vaccinated against covid-19, further raising questions over calls by global heath organisation WHO for universal vaccination as the silver bullet to curbing a virus that experts maintain is not a death sentence and can be cured by other means.
The world has witnessed a spike in anti-vaccine protests by workers in United states, Italy, France and Nigeria who have been mandated to take the controversial jabs despite Nations like Israel with over 70 percent vaccinated still witnessing a spike in infection.
In a statement his family said General Powell, who also served as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, passed away on Monday.
The four star general is credited with shaping the foreign policy of Republican presidential administrations in the United States of America for decades.
