John Q Citizen in the afterlife — cause of death

 THE SCENE: Small table, two chairs, on a cloud. John Q sits across from the clerk/administrator.

So…I see you died from a COVID injection. We’re getting a lot of those lately.

Nonsense. I had a heart attack. In my car, in the driveway.

Yes, after you got the shot earlier in the day at the doctor’s office. It’s all here in your chart.

There must be some mistake.

Getting the shot was a mistake.

What are you talking about? It’s safe and effective.

You really believe that?

Of course.

Yes, well, that was your mistake.

I dispute that. Who else can I talk to?

There is no one else. I’m the clerk at intake.

You must have me mixed up with someone else.

Let’s see. 43, previously in good health, you were an accountant with the Granger Aerospace Institute, wife, 36, two daughters, a home in Cincinnati—

That’s me, but I had a heart attack.

Yes, from the vaccine.

No.

I don’t want to argue with you, sir. But you have to accept cause of death before you move on.

I have to say it was the vaccine?

That’s right, because it was.

What difference does it make?

We keep very strict records. Part of the process is acknowledging cause of death. It’s standard.

Suppose I refuse your diagnosis?

Well, we could send you to Limbo, until you agree with our assessment. You sit in a small room alone for as long as it takes. Occasionally, we send the person back to his last location. For you, that would be the hospital. Let’s see. If we allow you to survive, you’ll have to deal with brain damage. Probably spend the next ten years or so, until you die again, in a wheelchair, in a long-term facility. You’ll be in and out of consciousness…

I don’t want that.

I don’t blame you.

So you really think it was the vaccine?

I don’t think. I know.

How did that happen?

The mechanism is unclear. Could be particles of foreign DNA in the vaccine. Or the coating on the Lipid Nanoparticles. You could have had a severe allergic reaction to the coating. There are several other possibilities we’re aware of.

But my doctor told me the vaccine was completely safe.

He was wrong. He was just spouting the official line.

So what happened was a very rare exception.

No. It occurs quite often these days.

But then the whole vaccine campaign would have been—

Stopped? I’m afraid not.

Why not?

There are many reasons, starting from money, profit, greed.

I’m…

Shocked? You shouldn’t be.

This is very disconcerting.

I understand.

Is there something that can be done to make people aware—

People down there are trying. They’re putting out the truth.

You mean anti-vaxxers?

They’re called all sorts of names.

Why would I listen to them?

It’s too late for that. But if you had listened, you might still be alive and with your family.

But they’re crazy.

Who told you that?

My friends. All sorts of people.

They were hoodwinked, too.

That’s not right.

If you’re suggesting deception is wrong, I agree. But…here we are.
