Nice summary - with apologies I’ll nitpick - I am not aware of VITTP from mRNA vaccines. (Edit - I dial this back - I see the piece in the paper where they mention the case series from mRNA vaccines)
I think (I guess the audience of a scientific paper is more general a scientific audience) that it would be nice if there was at least a comparator paragraph to the risks of actual COVID disease.
Molecular mimicry is to me the most likely mechanism of the whole thing, and we keep finding out new ways COVID is damaging people down the track - this recent paper (below) shows a reasonably scary rise in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes in those less than 18 with a recent COVID infection.
Terrifying.

Worth skipping ahead to the limitations section… 1. Single ICD code 2. Differential exposure misclassification 3. No covariates (obesity?!) 4. only included those seeking care + insured > (actually a great teaching case for EPI 101!)
