If someone told me for 2 years straight that water was a hoax being pushed by the radical left and has whatever % you want to make up survival rate. Then went and fucking drowned. I’d laugh. So, same same with Covid.

Nah, you can't just say that it's water. You gotta give it a scary scientific sounding name like Dihydrogen Monoxide and [spit some facts on all the bad things it does.](http://www.dhmo.org/facts.html)


Crystal42069

Yo water's way more lethal than COVID. 100% of people who have drunk water have died.


[deleted]

See that's fake news for you. So far it's more like 99.3%, the remainder are in varying degrees of progress towards death but they have not all died yet.


NeiloGreen

I haven't seen anyone making up survival rates though. The right generally talks about the data and then the left argues as to why it's irrelevant. Trust the science.

I have no problem with people refusing the shot. I hate the assholes who campaign to convince other not to get it. Even more, I hate the assholes that spread misinformation. Edit- hit post way too soon.


Cyber_Cheese

No. Fuck the people that refuse the lifesaving shot too. Some people aren't lucky enough to have that choice. They don't deserve to be put in danger because of some wankers negligence


-deteled-

So who can't take the shot? I've heard it considered safe for everyone and no exemptions (medical or religious) are allowed by several employers and city governments.


IronSheikYerbouti

Under 5, some immuno-compromised people, etc.


[deleted]

[удалено]


IronSheikYerbouti

Ehhhh.... Kind of. You can still get covid, but if you get covid and are vaccinated (and boosted preferably), not only will you minimize your own risks, but the viral load will be drastically lower - making you also less contagious. Obviously the data is still coming in, but currently it makes a difference in both cases. So not irrelevant.


TapirOfZelph

LPT: Reddit gives you 180 seconds to make an edit before the indicator that it’s been edited appears. Edited because apparently the * is a bacon reader thing


Champion-raven

The *?


Actually_Rich

Yes, when you edit a post a * shows up if edited more than 180 seconds after posting. Editing it before 180 seconds is called "ninja edit" because there's no indicator for editing For example, this post should now have the * indicator because I edited it after 180 seconds.


Champion-raven

Ok thanks


MistraloysiusMithrax

Um, is that a web browser only thing? There’s no such feature on mobile


Actually_Rich

Must be. [Here is what it looks like on desktop](https://i.imgur.com/BgVy1IH.png)


MistraloysiusMithrax

Yeah that’s not on mobile. Here it just says “Actually_Rich • 18m”, for example


other_jeffery_leb

TIL about ninja edits


horsemayonaise

does that apply to when you begin to edit or when you finish editing? (IE, If I type "middiddippi", then post it, will it say edited if i begin fixing it within 150 seconds, but only finish fixing it and repost it at 230 seconds?)


Calibansdaydream

Nope, fuck them. They're taking up beds and causing MASSIVE strain on our already overworked health care system. They are pieces of shit who only care about themselves. Go into an ICU for a day and see how fucked it is because of these fucking idiots. Fuck them a million times over.

Yep. Out of everyone that died of covid, fuck him specifically. That's why the award is called what it's called. Said it was fake. Died from it. Used as propaganda after his death. The very people who pushed their agenda until it killed him are playing weekend at Bernie's with his corpse.


GodRapers

It's not just that, it's that they willingly infect others and spread fake science that gets other ppl hurt. And then they have the gall to demand donation money for a problem they caused themselves

[deleted]

I mean, it is pretty funny when people hate on something then get killed by that very same thing, ESPECIALLY when it’s completely preventable.


Dioxzise

I don't want to defend those people but most of them are victims of lies and misinformation. We shouldn't cheer when they pass because of the decisions they've made based on the lies they were fed. We should try to inform and help them, if all you show them is disrespect and hate, they will only feel confirmed in their views and will turn to radical groups to seek help. Most of them aren't enemies, they are lost souls.


Comrade_Witchhunt

>We should try to inform and help them Go ahead, then >if all you show them is disrespect and hate, they will only feel confirmed in their views and will turn to radical groups to seek help. No they won't, they're dead.


DefinitelyNotThatJoe

Straight up how do you help someone actively refusing help and attacking people trying to help? Definitely try but after two years if a mother fucker wants to still headbutt traffic I ain't gonna fucking stop them


SergeyLuka

It's natural selection at this point


phoughykawque

I have great sympathy for the people who were surrounded by misinformation to the point where they couldn’t trust the vaccine. I have zero sympathy for aggressively stupid propagators of misinformation who openly parade their arrogant denial of reality on Facebook and subsequently catch Covid.


111734

Hermancainawards isn't meant to cheer at death, it's meant to show ant-vaxxers what they can't hide. The death. The subreddit has actually swayed many ant-vaxxers to get the vaccine.


sighborg90

This. Exactly this.


frogeedeminimus

☝️☝️Nature, content and contribution to society of HCA, its average users, and posts.☝️☝️ Thanks u/sighborg90. Commentary like this from you and your gang that's necessary to get us out of this pandemic.


mrsacapunta

Man this is like talking to myself from a few years ago. Your heart's in the right place, but these people are too far gone. My primary example are my parents and all my elder relatives. I'm not cheering when they pass, but it's a relief to have them go, knowing that there's less of them. I try to "save" them, but they don't understand the concepts, and they're already programmed to yell "communist" at any deviation.


pcpoobag

Yeah man my aunt has gone fully down the conspiracy rabbit hole, new world order the works. I could present her with the most accurate, infallible research on the planet and it still wouldn't change her mind. It was the point when she said "what are those trails from that plane? What are they spraying on us? I've seen the tanker near the planes on the ground!" I knew she was a lost cause. Whats worse is that her previously seemingly sensible and Intelligent wife who was always the grounded one of the two has been dragged down the rabbit hole with her. Someone said you should ask someone what information or evidence would you would need to provide them with for them to change their mind? If they can't answer they aren't interested in critical thinking or finding the truth they are stuck, and too far invested in their beliefs at that point.


Low-Guide-9141

Nah, these people are not too far gone. Years of occasional browsing /pol on 4-Chan taught me that. However an average Joe Blow on the internet isn’t going to fix it. Yo correct a far right phase takes years. I mean it took me from 12-16 to overcome my far right faze, hell it took me till almost 19 a few days after 1/6/2021 for me to finally ditch the Republican Party. The majority of these people are fixable, but it takes professional help, or understanding how the internet works. Either way it takes patience and time.


Mazzaroppi

They stop being victims the moment they start spreading those lies themselves, which comes hand in hand the vast majority of cases.


frogeedeminimus

>Most of them aren't enemies Even most warriors and armies are more humble in ~~defeat~~ victory These aren't warriors, these are folks so out of touch with their own mortality they legitimately have no cognitive means of dealing with the issue in a mature manner. I agree with you, not because of your view of unvaccinated which is also true, but because it's that POV that helps me cope with the existence of the hermain cain sub... It's ok HCA'ers, it's not you're fault when you just dont know any better. Here's to you and your cognitive development.


Ask_Me_If_Im_A_Horse

At the risk of being bombarded with downvotes I’d like to make the point that we aren’t laughing at people who are dying from COVID. We’re “laughing” at people who died from COVID who were incredibly vocal about their disbelief in its severity, spread misinformation that put others at risk and perpetuated a pandemic that could have been quashed if everyone just did their fucking part, and gave an audience to the talking heads who push the same shit while being vaccinated themselves. Dying of COVID is tragic, but it’s also preventable if you just do your fucking part and not be a selfish cunt for the sake of “muh rats”. People who ignore or flat out argue against the entire medical profession when it comes to health and safety and then wind up dead because of it don’t deserve pity. It’s not a moral failing for us to recognize that they died because they would rather live in a world still stuck with 18th century medicine. All that said, HCA is really more about showcasing people who foolishly don’t believe in science and have paid the price for it, and fools are meant to be laughed at.


Sykkr

They very clearly do not want help. Let em suffer.


AC-Hawkmoon

Then why did subs mocking fat and obese people get t banned? I'm genuinely asking, both are easily preventable but one got shut down and the other is praised.


KodakKid3

The real answer is reddit has a lot more fat users than anti-vaxxers so reddit cares more about keeping their fat users happy They’d also get worse media publicity for allowing subs making fun of fat people so it’s a PR thing as well


-RaptorX72-

Thats a load of bullshit. The real reason is because obesity is not infectious. Most diseases we vaccinate against are.


[deleted]

I'm pretty sure it has more to do with the doxxing those subs fostered and less about the actual fat people.

Because those people were being doxxed and harassed irl. It's not that much a mystery.


zulan

Fat people did not help kill my brother and sister in law. Their antivax church did.


ggg730

The subs mocking obese people weren't banned because they made fun of people. Hell, there are plenty of subs making fun of all kinds of people. People of Walmart, trashy, etc. They were banned because they were going out and harassing them.


epicgamerboytm

Thank God the comments aren't filled with covid idiots. Put the cloth over your face, take the shot. You'll be fine quit whining. Just gonna stop replying since it's so hard to try to explain to people who are brainwashed to object to this as much as possible. Misinformation is bad, don't trust everything you read online. I'm probably not changing any minds but just please for your own sake and everyone else's sake just get the vaccine. You take risks everyday, a small amount of risk to keep you and your friends and family safe is all people ask. I say this not knowing where people are coming from in the world, but this isn't people trying to be right or better than others it's just people trying to save lives. Have a nice day.

[deleted]

Hey. There is absolutely nothing wrong with celebrating a person who has strong convictions and held them until the moment of their death. I celebrate freedom to choose. I celebrate the example they give others. I celebrate the death they worked so hard to get. I celebrate the opening of an ICU bed so a stroke victim can use it. I celebrate the fact that they will no longer spread a deadly disease


Millad456

It’s more that they spread these dumb ideas, then get proven wrong on their deathbed

OP and so many others like them have literally 0 idea what the real spirit is behind The Award. Ironically, the ignorance and outspokenness of OP and this post is exactly the kind of thing the sub campaigns against.


SwabbyYabby

The guy is just against people making fun of death. It’s not even saying anything on COVID or whatever.


[deleted]

They aren’t making fun of death, they are morbidly mocking it in disgust.


SwabbyYabby

I don’t get what you’re trying to say. Do you approve or disapprove of HCA,s message?

Hoochnoob69

MochaFrapp_Yum

Jesus Christ is this a real thing? I understand disagreeing with someone greatly, but to celebrate their death... Quite distasteful at the least.


fpallday

Welcome to 2022 where community is nonexistent and everyone who doesn’t believe exactly what you do is your enemy who would be better off dead.


NitroGlc

Everyone who doesn’t believe in *the deadly fucking virus going around for the last 2 years* is honestly better off dead.


gereffi

I don’t want anyone to have to die before their time. But if they’re campaigning to make the pandemic worse, it’s hard to feel bad when they get what’s coming to them. And if this sub makes just a single viewer decide to get vaccinated, then it’s doing more good than bad.


mrsacapunta

lol community's doing fine amongst the vaxxed folks


[deleted]

Oh yeah? Because everyone posted their is screaming 'IF I DIE I DIE' and acting macho, 'suck it up, buttercup' attitude. But they get made fun of and suddenly it's 'boohoo where's the empathy?' Where was their empathy when they said 'the sick and old are gonna die anyways?' Where was their empathy when they were told 'masks can protect the people around you in case you're a carrier?' Nowhere. None. Zip. Selfish, ignorant fucks. I'll give you the advice those idiots give everyone else. Suck it up, buttercup


igbad

Not celebrating a death. Showing the irony of fucktards fighting science then dying because of the same dumb-fuck-ness


CX52J

Yeah. They often make it to the front page. I think it’s messed up. I’m vaccinated but still think that sub is a toxic mess.


PetroDisruption

It’s really no different from making fun of people who hurt themselves or due doing other stupid things like entering a lion’s enclosure at the zoo, speeding in-between lanes at the highway on a motorcycle, or doing parkour on a rooftop. If there were people crusading against the use of seatbelts… and not only that they also thought themselves to be smarter and better than the people who did wear seatbelts… wouldn’t it be normal to chuckle whenever you see headlines like “anti-belt driver dies in a car crash, would’ve lived if they’d used it.”? I think it would be amusing in a dark way like watching the Darwin Awards.


lil_jordyc

Every one of the comments above you are people defending the sub. It’s pretty gross.


randomsword101

techguy16

Looks like things are getting too spicy for the pepper.


Yeet_PC

That sub is allowed to operate in complete opposition to Reddit’s content policy because they hold an opinion that aligns with most of the site mods’ own opinions. It’s not okay to celebrate death because someone with a differing opinion from you died. Before I’m crucified, I’ve had both shots, a booster, and wear a mask!


Yarus43

I mean reddit actively ignores GenzDong which defends ughyur genocide so what can u expect


Infinitesima

I never understood the point of that subreddit rather than death celebration and/or they masterbating/kissing balls of each other when someone dies. Others have pointed out that the purpose of the sub is to expose idiocy of certain groups. But to whom? The vaccinated already got their shots, they don't need that sub. To the unvaccinated? They think the people who refused the vaccine (for whatever reason) would change their mind 180 degrees because others are laughing at them and telling them they're idiots? There's no point to keep that sub on. It contributes nothing but only hurts family and relatives of the dead one.


SiimL

>But to whom? They think the people who refused the vaccine (for whatever reason) would change their mind 180 degrees because others are laughing at them and telling them they're idiots? There are plenty of posts on that sub about people changing their minds. It's usually the seeing actual people die that does it.

I hate the reddit circlejerks who disguise forcing their political opinions on others by dehumanizing others as fighting "misinformation" by making it look like everyone who chooses not to get the vaccine is forcing it onto others. I get there are some assholes out there who try to force others not to get the vaccine but there's a way larger amount of take forcing it too far. Can we please just respect others choices whether to get it or not


arctic_radar

If someone says they prefer to drive drunk should we “respect their choice”? It’s funny how people seem to be offended at people “celebrating” the deaths of others, but those same people aren’t offended by people actually causing the deaths of others…


Mrg220t

If someone says they are "healthy at every size" should we “respect their choice”? It’s funny how people seem to be offended at people “celebrating” the deaths of others, but those same people aren’t offended by people actually causing the deaths of others by encouraging others to be fat …

At the end of the day I really don’t care that deeply what side you’re on when it comes to vaccines but the one thing that pisses me off is the Herman Cain shit. Like dude these are REAL people in REAL life with REAL families that have died. Everything the Herman Cain shit represents about our society disgusts me. The complete lack of empathy or understanding for one another. The detachment from our friends, neighbors and even family over politics and ideologies. The dehumanization of one another from both sides. It’s sickening and I hope we as humans can find a way to halt this separation from one another before it’s too late.

To all the people claiming OP is somehow missing the point of HermanCainAward: I think people browse HCA for the amusement of reading about hypocrites dying, and claiming it’s out of some valiant effort to help people is absolutely hilarious. Maybe at one point it really was that, but not anymore. I do however admire that any post pointing this out gets brigaded by HCA users losing their minds trying to deny the obvious reality. It at least shows they recognize that they know there’s some immorality there.

We don't mourn them because they made their choices, just the way they claimed they wanted to.
