Are thrombosis deaths in the United Kingdom 500% to 600% greater than in any of the last 14 years?

no

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.

The UK's Office of National Statistics said there's no evidence of an increase in thrombosis deaths in 2021.

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