Was this a case of his cancer I read about preventing getting the vaccine or making the vaccine ineffective for him, or some other situation?

This is very sad:

While the school did not release an official cause of death, his fiancée, Erika Alexander, said on Facebook that Peacock had tested positive for COVID-19 on Aug. 14, with doctors expressing concern about low oxygen levels the following day.

"Those of you who knew him knew he was stubborn as hell and hated the doctor," Alexander wrote, "so he didn't want to go to the hospital."

Alexander wrote that she had been in Florida visiting family at the time of Peacock's death.
