We’re the Herman Cain Awards (HCA) of Facebook, and honored to be contributing to the SAV community. We give away awards to antivaxxers who publicly mock covid + vaccines and then later pass away due to Covid.
Common trends within the Herman Cain awardees are men with goatees/pube beards, self-identify as patriots, Facebook feeds filled with scripture and prayers, extremely political, didn’t save for a rainy day, own a Harley Davidson, an abundance of antivax posts, love to share American flag pics, and they usually always have a post of admiration for Kyle Rittenhouse (I still don't understand that one). It’s been a little slow this week with unique and interesting new awardees, so we thought we’d give you a taste of some of the antivaxx bikers we’ve featured.
The biking community is sadly getting hit hard and must be feeling a huge loss with all of the antivaxxers dying from Covid. Even though there is a nationwide car/motorcycle shortage, we’re expecting a large number of used Harley Davidson bikes to be coming onto the market. Link to the comments.

I warned you about their admiration for Rittenhouse. Can someone explain that one to me?
And I'll end Mr. Tipton with this one. 🤬
Jeffrey A. Peterson
Our next awardee wasn't the vocal antivaxxer; it was his wife, Diane. She's an RN and a prolific antivaxxer. They didn't get vaccinated and then fought the medical team to give Jeffrey Ivermectin while he was hospitalized. This seems to be the new trend: don't get vaccinated, fight with the medical professionals to give them their "protocol" and then blame their death on the hospital. It's infuriating.
