A study suggests that people have complex reactions when anti-vaxxers who publicly reject COVID-19 vaccines die from the disease. While very few rejoice in their deaths, some individuals believe that those who are dogmatic against vaccines deserve worse outcomes. This reaction is influenced by the political party affiliation and vaccination status of the person evaluating the anti-vaxxer.

The study indicates that people view those on social media as characters in a morality play and may judge those who share misinformation about the COVID vaccine as immoral and deserving of retribution.
