#2Good to highlight this. I became aware of the evils of the "alt-right" when they started trolling suicide memorial pages.
This is a similar attack coming from the polar side of the political spectrum. You cannot claim the moral high-ground after this.
If the pro-vaccine left does not distance itself from this ugly evil within their midsts, it should go a similar route as the alt-right did, in the eyes of the public: a terrorist and fascist organization.
Should really make you pause the next time someone on Twitter points to a target and says: do your thing.

#3See for yourself the Reddit forum that NYT alludes to:
https://old.reddit.com/r/HermanCainAward/
Notable rule on that subreddit:
> Posts about non-public figures must redact the entire name(s) of everyone in every image. Block it out completely. Don't scribble and allow redacted names to leak through. Profile pictures are not allowed and must be blocked out.

#4this is one of the many reason the left has left me.
things like /r/covidatemyface and /r/HermanCainAward/ - full of so-called progressives and their endless pseudo-empathy, not seeing this as opportunity to increase understanding about this situation and more as an tribalistic moment to "score points" and have a good laugh at the ignorance and death of others and the pain their families have to endure in the wake of their loss.

Reddit has a similar subreddit for the opposite, people who didn't take the vaccine and died, and it's also so filthy. Seems hypocritical of NY times not to report on it.

This exact rhetoric is something you often hear whenever any sort of left leaning person does anything remotely incriminating. It's really hard to separate the reasonable criticism from the neonazi trolling, which usually leaves one to search for embedded dog whistles. Of which this post has a few. I will leave it up to you if that is something you wish to address.

#9One of the most disturbing things I’ve watched during the last 2 years is the number of people:
1. Celebrating the deaths of people who didn’t get vaccinated because they were pro.
2. Mocking the deaths of anyone who died from Covid under the assumption that it’s being politically over-labeled.
There’s a sign in a funeral home in my hometown with a quote that leaves me very disturbed about our future. “Show me the manner in which a nation or a community cares for its dead and I will measure with mathematical exactness the tender sympathies of its people, their respect for the laws of the land and their loyalty to high ideals.”
- William E. Gladstone

You are trying for a false equivalence. What is the "pro-vaccine left?" Is there a "pro JFK Jr. is dead left?" What does that even mean?
