In essence, this Subreddit is advocating animosity, inciting enmity & influencing harassment by celebrating the illness & deaths of a certain group of people.

About: “Nominees have made public declaration of their anti-mask, anti-vax, or Covid-hoax views, followed by admission to hospital for Covid. The Award is granted upon the nominee's release from their Earthly shackles.”

In this context, to "celebrate" is to:

1.) Acknowledge with a social gathering or enjoyable activity. (i.e. Dedicated subreddit)

2.) Honor or praise publicly. (i.e. Reddit awards & nominations)

“…no community should be used as a weapon” “everyone on Reddit should have an expectation of privacy and safety, so please respect the privacy and safety of others.”

As per community’s “Qualifications for nomination” admission to hospital for Covid aka Illness & disability.

Illness: A disease or period of sickness affecting the body or mind

Disability: A physical or mental condition that limits a person's movements, senses, or activities.

Furthermore, people with a disability are a legally protected class shielded from discrimination, including but not limited to harassment.

Reddit’s Rules:

Rule 1.) We do not tolerate the harassment, threatening, or bullying of people on our site; nor do we tolerate communities dedicated to this behavior.

Remember the human. Reddit is a place for creating community and belonging, not for attacking marginalized or vulnerable groups of people. Everyone has a right to use Reddit free of harassment, bullying, and threats of violence. Communities and users that incite violence or that promote hate based on identity or vulnerability will be banned.

Reddit is a place for conversation, and in that context, we define this behavior as anything that works to shut someone out of the conversation through intimidation or abuse, online or off. Depending on the context, this can take on a range of forms, from directing unwanted invective (insulting posts) at someone to following them from subreddit to subreddit, just to name a few. Behavior can be harassing or abusive regardless of whether it occurs in public content (e.g. a post, comment, username, subreddit name, subreddit styling, sidebar materials, etc.) or private messages/chat.

Being annoying, downvoting, or disagreeing with someone, even strongly, is not harassment. However, menacing (intimidation) someone, directing abuse at a person or group, following them around the site, encouraging others to do any of these actions, or otherwise behaving in a way that would discourage a reasonable person from participating on Reddit crosses the line.

Rule 7.) Keep it Legal

Discriminating against people with a disability is not only inhumane, but highly illegal and can result in lawsuits.

Definitions

Harassment: Aggressive pressure or intimidation

Intimidation: To make timid or fearful; to inspire of affect with fear; to deter, as by threats; to dishearten; to abash.

Enmity: positive, active, and typically mutual hatred or ill will

Hate: a systematic and especially politically exploited expression of hatred

Hate speech: speech expressing hated of a particular group of people

Hate-watch: to watch and take pleasure in laughing at or criticizing

Closing

Furthermore, contrary to your belief(s) submitting & celebrating the illness and/or death of an individual is not only sadistic in nature but inhumane and disgusting. This kind of bigotry only motivates others to join cause in illegal activities & influence an unsafe domain. In an age that is combatting against cyber-bullying, this subreddit and it’s lack of compassion only aide segregation and sets us back morally. Celebrating the adverse effects or even death by vaccination is highly forbidden & it should be the same for the others. Let's be basic human beings and stop the polarization that has been politically influenced. Life is already stressful enough, we don't need to add to it by justifying & spreading more hate.
