Reddit has threads like this on a daily basis.

Even if I do not agree with someone's ideas, I won't be happy about their death when it backfires. Friends and family still suffers from their loss and there is nothing to cheer about it.

This is such a childish behavior.

The entire HermanCainAward subreddit is about cheering and celebrating people dying of COVID. Why hasn't the exceptionally ban-happy Reddit of late banned it?

That is a mischaracterization. It shows the hypocrisy of people disparaging an incredible vaccine, and paying the ultimate price. No-one is celebrating deaths, but they are exposing deep idiocy.

I fail to see any hypocrisy. Wouldn't it only be hypocrisy if you refused the vaccine yourself while encouraging others to get it, or vice versa? Also, there's definitely celebrating death going on in that subreddit.

You're right, that's a mischaracterization. These people aren't hypocrites, they lived and died with their core tenets of mask-aversion intact.

There are now several safe and effective vaccine options that help prevent both death and illness from COVID, to the point it can be considered a preventable disease.

Now that may well change if and when this virus mutates.

But given that reality it does require a level of stupidity to find oneself dead from COVID.
