"Covid denier" is not 100% accurate, I really meant "denying or purposely oblivious to the severity and transmissibility of Covid (and quite possibly endangering others on multiple occasions) after plenty of evidence has been provided". Because it's a mouthful, I'll just use the shortcut of "Covid denier".
I agree that covid deniers have the right to be represented, as in this case, with another covid denier. I (personally) don't need to spend anytime feeling sympathy for "them" if they pass away.
