> the risks of dying from covid-19, if infected, which are much higher than that even for a young person.

Where does your certainty come from? Are you talking about CFR, which is unreliable, or IFR, which is unknown. Or are you privy to some hidden knowledge?

The CFR. Yes that overstates the risk because you don't know how many asymptomatic cases there are. But it does not overstate it by several orders of magnitude, which is what would be required for me to be wrong.

There are lots of complications. What was her risk of contracting covid * her risk of dying, given an infection? Was she healthy or did she have an underlying, serious condition ? It's just not as simple as your post makes out. This young woman would almost certainly be alive if she hadn't got the vaccine.
