are ken, a former white house chief of staffer from ronald reagan and close advisor to nancy reagan over the years, has died at the age of 77. he worked closely with nen national security advisor, colon powell, who became a life-long friend. he played a critical role in destroying the president s credibility and authority after the iran contrascandal and later worked for bush 41 and helped confirm supreme court nominees. always filling every room with laughter. our condolences to his wife, children and the rest of the family. wife, children and the rest of the family have copd, ask your doctor about breztri. breztri gives me better breathing and helps prevent flare-ups. before breztri, i was stuck in the past. i still had bad days, flare-ups which kept me from doing what i love. my doctor said for my copd, it was time for breztri.
i try to explain to people i m among the immunopro compromised. colon powell was 84 and dealing with cancer. didn t matter. how do you tell them or do you even say anything now to those that are dead set against vaccines to get vaccinated? well, i hope nobody would feel dead set at this point. we ve had a lot of conclusions being drawn without really looking at the evidence. again, i m not a political person. i m basically trying to look at the data. we know a lot about the vaccines now. they ve been out there for quite a while. we know how dangerous this vaccine can be. more than 700,000 people have lost their lives. 1,500 people.
doctor. a lot of people don t. they use this and many have e-mailed me and saying well, this is proof that i should get the vaccine because you came down with it. colon powell came down with it. all they see is recurrences of cases. they see some of these break-through cases and say why should i bother? what do you tell them? so i look at it this way. when you look at who is hospitalized and who is dying, greater than 90% of people that are not vaccinated. these vaccines are some of the best vaccines. most effective vaccines we have for anything. measles about 95%. some of them for whooping cough, lower than this. they still save millions of lives around the world. i kind of use the seat belt analogy. you wear a seat belt, it s going to improve the chapses that you
children because by vaccinating them, you help protect every other child in the classroom. you protect teachers, you protect the staff. you were fully vaccinated. we re mourning the loss of colon powell that was vaccinated by immunocompromised. we provide protection for ourselves and our families and provide protection for those people we pass on the street. maybe we have an immune problem we re not aware of. you re comment about would you have done worse had you not been vaccinated? that is the case. you know, it s very hard to prove that on an individual basis. but you have a number of conditions that put you at very high risk of having severe disease. now you re back on the air. so i hope people take this information and they just factor it in to their decision making. a lot of people neil: a lot of people don t,
