Antivaxx Bikers Who’ve Died from Covid

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.
