These stories you're sharing are nonetheless anecdotal evidence. They're painting a picture of covid as this killer disease which is killing young, healthy people left and right, which just isn't true. Of course you're gonna get tragic cases when you have hundreds of thousands of infections every day.
This is kidna equivalent to someone who's posting pics of every case he can find where 20- or 30-somethings died from lung cancer. Tragic cases, and the underlying disease is bad and dangerous - but nonetheless painting a wrong picture of the risk profile of the disease.
do you disagree with the assessment that the vaccines are a several magnitudes of order safer than the virus?
as of writing this the canadian stats for covid sits at 26,945 deaths amongst 1.5 million cases
also in canada the astrazeneca vaccine which is now suspended had a 1 in 1 million odds of killing you from blood clots
the point here is people are incredibly overconfident about their ability to deal with the virus while fears about the vaccines are incredibly overblown
