Not really. The IFR in the UK for the age group 15-44 before the vaccine was 0.03%. To date, 6.7 million under 50’s in the UK have had the first AZ jab and there have been 11 under 50’s blood clot deaths possibly linked to the vaccine or 0.00016418%.

So if you are under 50, you are 182 times more likely to die if get COVID than you are from blood clot from the vaccine.
