His death not proof

The news of Colin Powell’s death had hardly been announced before the foil-hatted anti-vaxxers started pointing to his passing as “proof” that vaccines are useless and potentially harmful.

This is not surprising … these shameless miscreants thrive on spreading disinformation and outright lies. They damage humanity every day by their actions. They have indelible blood on their hands. Truth be told, while Powell didn’t die because he was vaccinated, he may well have died because someone else wasn’t.

Vaccines save lives. Disinformation kills.
