"My friend Anne had a scan," said my aunt.
"Oh," sez I.
"They found a shadow on her heart," sez the Ant.
"Ah," said I.
"She asked the doctor what would cause it and he muttered something about Covid and then clammed up. She thought he meant the vaccines. But he refused to say anything else. I immediately thought of you and all those things you said about the vaccines."
"We were younger Ants and nephews in those days," sez I. "For all my heroic efforts, I don't actually know of anyone who opted not to take the damn things just because of a warning from me. But I do know that Farmer Jones has just had open heart surgery. Yankee Joe has been put on heart medication for life. And Melissa Tarkington is as dead as the Dodo. And now Anne. I pleaded with them all not to take the vaccines."
"You pleaded with me too," said the Ant.
"I did Ant."
"Why would the doctor not tell Anne what he meant?"
"The doctors are getting scared. I would hazard they're seeing so many deaths from heart attacks that they realise they've been killing people with those vaccines. Nobody wants to admit quite how wrong they were or quite how monstrous this whole orchestrated virus panic debacle was."
Cousin Felicia looked up from her book.
She considers herself a scientist and can become displeased if she happens to overhear subtly stated meditations which could be adjudged when viewed in a certain light to contain vague implied criticisms of the medical establishment.
"I took the vaccines," she began, "and I got Covid. But I think if I hadn't taken the vaccines, it would have been much worse."
A faint whimsical smile played about my gentle pre Raphaelite features.
My piercing blue eyes took on a poignant look.
Contrary to popular belief, I don't lightly enter unwinnable wars
So I sipped my tea and sat back to enjoy her paean to Pfizer and Astra Zeneca and the wonders of modern science.
I have become mellow in the Summer of my life.
Perhaps it is the getting on of wisdom.
