This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

The RPGPundit's Own Forum Rules
This part of the site is controlled by the RPGPundit. This is where he discusses topics that he finds interesting. You may post here, but understand that there are limits. The RPGPundit can shut down any thread, topic of discussion, or user in a thread at his pleasure. This part of the site is essentially his house, so keep that in mind. Note that this is the only part of the site where political discussion is permitted, but is regulated by the RPGPundit.

Did what it was supposed to. Powell had blood cancer which reduced the effectiveness.
He was an old, sick man, it did fuck all. Same as if he'd been a younger, healthier man, his immune system would have dealt with it, irrespective of the jab.

Let's stop pretending that something that doesn't actually provide immunity (which is what real vaccines do) is providing any protection here.
The report covered in the last page of the thread shows you are quite wrong. So much disinformation you are peddling...

Citations needed for cancer reducing the effectiveness of the jab.
American Cancer Society notes that it is probable that treatments that impact the immune system, such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy, as well as certain cancers themselves, will reduce the effectiveness of the vaccine, but that there is currently insufficient research to make a definitive statement to the degree of impact. However,  the fact that the immune system is impaired in such patients is clear.

I am saying the people who conducted the study give a summary and their summary concludes exactly the opposite of this meme.

Have a look at all of the data, not just one table.

I'm not always up on my racism.  Are people here really pretending they don't know the difference between Colin Powell and James Earl Jones and/or Colin Powell and Barrack Obama?

No, our first black president was released from the hospital (UC Irvine in Socal) this week after having an infection.

I think it's less out of racism and more out of generic sarcasm.

It is important to note that part of becoming a Leftist is replacing your sense of humor with an extra outrage meter.

Back after the first Gulf War, Colin Powell was widely touted as a potential presidential candidate. He had a sterling reputation, and was widely respected. Nearly everyone thought he was a shoe-in, if he did decide to run. He chose not to, because he didn't want to subject himself and his family to the raking over the coals and public exposure that go with a presidential campaign. And even if he did run, there was no guarantee. Elections are unpredictable things. But at the time, nearly everyone thought he was far and away the best candidate. And nobody really cared he was black.

Imagine if he ran, and won? The first black president would have been someone with dignity and reserve, like Obama. But unlike him, Colin Powell was a war hero, and a Republican. Which would have added gravitas, and bridged gaps. And even more importantly, this would have been more than a decade before culture wars were even a flaming pile of shit on the horizon. It would have united the country, instead of dividing. It would have proved that race is not the most essential element of someone's character, instead of becoming the most important aspect.

But no, that didn't happen. Colin Powell left behind a long legacy of service, but he was never president. And I think we lost something. Because instead of moving toward a post-racial society and unity, stark polarization and virulent racists like you dominate our world.

But in a better world, the first black president just passed away.

Funny, Pundit's video persona is all based on stoking the outrage of old school D&D players, and I don't figure most of his audience is Leftist.
