THE UMBRELLA – A TOUCHING STORY    

 

On a rainy afternoon in Vancouver recently a group of protesters was gathered outside a hospital handing out pamphlets on the  "evils"  of vaccines and vaccine passports. They said it violated their rights ???

I politely declined to take one as I entered the hospital.     

There was an elderly woman behind me and a young (20-ish) female protester who offered her a pamphlet, which she too politely declined.      

The young protester gently put her hand on the old woman's shoulder and in a patronizing voice said, "Don't you care about freedoms and rights" ?  

The old woman looked up at her and said: "Honey, my father died in France during World War II protecting our rights and freedoms. I lost my husband to Covid, and now my daughter has it ".So how can a naive, privileged, ignorant, self-centred  bimbo like you have the right to stand here, talk about rights and freedoms, badmouth our health-care workers, protest in front of hospitals where the health-care system is overwhelmed by this pandemic and sadly does not care about our health and safety ? If you touch me again, I'll shove this umbrella up your ass and open it."
