I take your point here but Cain encouraged people not to wear masks and how many people followed that and died as a result?

I would personally argue that most people are not laughing at the death itself, but more the hubris that lead to the death. The death itself is depressing in its own way, because I don't know what's more depressing: that he genuinely believed the rhetoric he spouted or that he knew it was wrong but was fine with the deaths of ~150,000 Americans as a consequence of feeding his own ego/ financial gain.

He deserves ridicule as a cautionary tale. We could overlook his foolishness and respect his passing if his monsterous words and actions hadn't endangered and murdered untold numbers of people. His death does not martyr him. His death doesn't beautify him to respected sainthood. His death ensures that he will never be punished for multiple counts of endangerment and manslaughter, regardless of all the allegations of sexual harassment, assault, embezzlement, and fraud that didn't lead to his death.
If the man didn't deserve your respect, the corpse certainly doesn't.

Who’s taking this lightly? The point is that people calling COVID a hoax are dying from it.

Herman Cain contracted COVID from a Trump rally where he refused to wear a mask. He has now died from COVID.
