Fully vaccinated Fox News contributor and doctor Kelly Powers died Sunday following a series of health problems including heart failure and a battle with brain cancer.
Dr. Powers was an advocate for Big Pharma, describing drug and vaccine companies as “not the enemy” during an appearance on Fox Business, explaining that “they are helping us, they are creating vaccines.”
Dr. Powers suffered a series of health complications in 2020, prompting her initial cancer diagnosis. Although her illness went into remission, it returned with a vengeance in 2024 before she passed away this week.

Dr. Powers first showed signs of trouble with shortness of breath and chest pain, which quickly escalated into heart failure—shockingly, all while she was live on a segment for Fox Business.
“It’s crazy. I went into heart failure while doing a report on Fox Business — live — on heart health and talking about the subtle signs that women often miss. You can’t make this up,” she told Preferred Health Magazine in an interview after she was first diagnosed for her ailments.
Later on, Dr. Powers learned she had glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer.
“She was a brave and beautiful soul who could make friends anywhere she went. Kelly had a love for people and she was dedicated to helping others,” an obituary published December 3 reads.
Dr. Powers regularly appeared on the Fox News show “Red Eye.” She also led segments on Fox Business focused on health risks in America.
Beyond her career on television, Dr. Powers was an accomplished podiatric surgeon. She attended the New York College of Podiatric Medicine and did her residency at Georgetown and the Boston University School of Medicine.
Her hobbies included gardening, surfing, ballet, biking, running, horseback riding and travel, among others, according to her obituary.
While in remission — after three surgeries, chemotherapy and radiation — Dr. Powers got pregnant and gave birth to her son, Bennett.
She is survived by her husband, Steven Doll, as well as her son, her parents and her in-laws.
