Yes and afaik those with a recent vaccination are at lowest risk of extreme complication from COVID-related disease.
I think if there are excess deaths in the UK, we need to analyze possible sources rather than pinning it exclusively on the vaccine. We need to identify biological mechanisms which would result in vaccine associated deaths. We need to quantify and record those deaths. These are areas where the analysis is lacking.
According to some sources, the 2022 excess death rate in England and Wales is up about 40,000 per year. So we can either claim all 40,000 exactly are due to the vaccine and close the case, or we can delve a little deeper.
Other possible sources of increased mortality since 2020 include elevated automotive accidents, drug abuse[2][4], homicide, heat waves[1], mortality displacement[3], hospital strain[6][7], as well as COVID-19 itself[3][5][8].
