No, they are not. Dietary cholesterol has little to zero impact on blood cholesterol, and saturated fat we don't have reliable data that points to it being harmful either, when accounting for other influences.

The "well, actually" point on this is that dietary saturated fat drives blood cholesterol levels more strongly than dietary cholesterol. But it is not true that dietary cholesterol has "zero impact," and it is not true that "saturated fat we don't have reliable data that points to it being harmful." High-cholesterol foods are typically high in saturated fat, so these things are kind of intertwined.
