Interesting observation and understandable feelings, which I share.
FYI, I do not know if you saw and read this, but here is a link to an Op-Ed piece from
The New York Times that appeared on Jan. 30, 2022. It is titled:
How Do You Respond When an Anti-Vaxxer Dies of Covid?
by By James Martin
(Father Martin is a Jesuit priest and the author of “Learning to Pray: A Guide for Everyone.”)
Here is a link to that article:

Here is a tidbit quote from that article:
"It’s not surprising then that when a prominent person who has refused to perform this act of love — particularly when that person has railed publicly against these health-saving measures — dies from Covid, some people are eager to say, “I told you so.” A few go further, mocking those who have died or even trolling their survivors.
This welter of strong feelings can be disorienting: We see someone resisting vaccines or masking (which frustrates us); thus endangering others (which angers us); perhaps even endangering ourselves (which frightens us); and then dying — which should sadden us but, some of us are horrified to discover, doesn’t. Feeling vindicated by someone’s death seems immoral, but it also seems reflexive. Human."
