That SARS-CoV-2 is now confirmed to infect megakaryocytes long-term (studied in Long Covid patients) should definitely alarm the public health authorities everywhere.
Intent is not to doom tweet here. But we should tackle this like we did for HIV.
You can replace HIV with SARS-CoV-2 here easily:

One thing unclear to me is whether inadvertent intravascular injection of the mRNA vaccine may change the dynamic here, allowing a larger load of MKs and then platelets to express spike — and whether that could bring about a longer term set of reactions that may mimic LC symptoms.
@CarlFle47251645 @SciDemocrat @brucep13 At any rate, for this and other reasons, I personally strongly prefer Novavax platform.
