A funeral director in a town outside London claims that deaths are at unprecedented levels for young people in their 20s, 30s, and 40s and "all were vaccinated."
He also says he is seeing an increase in thrombosis deaths in particular.

It added, "This is just anecdotal evidence, and since most people are now vaccinated we would expect most people who die to be vaccinated."
