It's not a celebration, it's factual. The common format is screenshots of their social media anti-vax posts, followed by a loved one or family member announcing their death. That's reality. The posts themselves usually contain no commentary aside from giving it a title. Looking at the most popular posts for this week, I picked a couple of examples. https://www.reddit.com/r/HermanCainAward/comments/ppm601/kristen_antivaxx_mom_of_four_did_her_research/ https://www.reddit.com/r/HermanCainAward/comments/ppm601/kri... https://www.reddit.com/r/HermanCainAward/comments/ppq315/laura_loomer_asked_for_it_and_now_she_has_it/ https://www.reddit.com/r/HermanCainAward/comments/ppq315/lau... The ones that do contain commentary are perspectives of dealing with COVID patients. Some examples of that: https://www.reddit.com/r/HermanCainAward/comments/pqm303/an_open_letter_to_my_patient/ https://www.reddit.com/r/HermanCainAward/comments/pqm303/an_... https://www.reddit.com/r/HermanCainAward/comments/prhzi9/a_message_from_a_funeral_director/ https://www.reddit.com/r/HermanCainAward/comments/prhzi9/a_m... Finally, the reason why the subreddit is named the way it is. https://www.reddit.com/r/HermanCainAward/comments/pncpqu/because_i_saw_newbies_asking_why_this_is_called/ https://www.reddit.com/r/HermanCainAward/comments/pncpqu/bec...

The entire concept is morally reprehensible, and I think poorly of anyone who participates. I understand the relation to the "darwin awards", which is still in poor taste, but this still only exists as a way to feel vindicated and superior to people who were under- or miseducated about vaccines or the dangers of Covid. As it's just a Reddit echo chamber it doesn't exist to educate, it exists to give the visitors a feeling of superiority to the dead. It's shameful and you shouldn't feel proud of that.
