Covid relative risk?

Are there any reputable statistics for covid risk versus other common risks?

I see a lot of posts quite rightly pointing out that if you have had both jabs then your risk of dying of covid is probably no higher than of dying in a car accident, or of cancer, or of flu, most of which we don’t spent too much time obsessing over. However I can’t find any figures to back it up (I might just not be good at looking).

Hopeful bump.
I’m surprised I can’t find anything. I was thinking there must be something like actuarial tables, but simpler. e.g. female age 40 risk of dying of covid in next 12 months 1 in 30,000, car accident 1 in 20,000, flu 1 in 25,000 etc
(nb above figure made up apart from the car crash one)
