==== COVID-19 ====

On October 1, 2021, Powell tweeted, "I would argue that COVID does kill some of the right people. The anti-vaxxers/maskers are dying in legions."

As of June 2022, Powell had received three doses of [[COVID-19 vaccines]].((Powell, J. (2022, June 15). //So, as a vaccinated, boosted person, I’ve not been tested for Covid. Is it possible for me to be at this point? The Long Covid thing worries me, but also keep in mind that I’m a hypochondriac.// [Tweet].

During September 2022, Powell's husband reported coming down with [[COVID-19]] twice, with Powell falling ill at least once.((Powell, J. (2022, October 7). //“I mean, I understand your POV, but my husband has been downed by Covid twice in a month, and that’s with mask wearing and all available boosters. I suspect I’ll be down next.  I’m going to keep masking up.”// [Tweet] Twitter. https://archive.ph/72mIR)) ((Powell, J. (2022, September 10). //Decided to take a nap and woke up sick like a dog. This is how the covid hits, I guess. All of a sudden like.// [Tweet]. Twitter. https://web.archive.org/web/20221102170733/https://twitter.com/licjulie/status/1568734495175483395)) ((Powell, J. (2022, September 13). //Weirdly, my Covid is getting worse. Terrible headache, cough, probable fever, fatigue.// [Tweet]. Twitter. https://archive.ph/wIM1X))

On October 25, 2022, she tweeted, "So I woke up with something that's literally Black Hairy Tongue. People, including my doctor, seem to think it's no big deal, and will go away soon, but it certainly is gross."((https://twitter.com/licjulie/status/1585019082167885824)) She died of [[cardiac arrest]] the following day, with some speculating she died as a result of either [[COVID-19]] or her multiple doses of [[COVID-19 vaccines]].((Novak, M.
