As someone suffering from Long Covid, I was hoping that my symptoms would improve after getting vaccinated, as had happened to others before me, but alas that wasn't the case. Then I learned that the vaccine wasn't a traditional one, and that it reprograms the cells to express the markers for the immune system to respond to. If the dose happens to hit a vein, and thus ends up reprogramming heart tissue, the consequences can be horrible disability ,or a quick death, even in a previously fit and healthy person. No more Covid boosters or anything MRNA based for me. I've barely made it through this.

I've never heard of this. Can you provide links to any scientific data to corroborate this theory?

Vaccines are injected into muscle as a buffer but the vaccine certainly spreads throughout the body including the blood vessels. Unless you can point to a specific mechanism whereby a heart would be particularly vulnerable, this does not seem like a sound hypothesis. Some people worried that people getting the vaccine would suffer from Myocarditis, but it turns out that people getting covid were several times more likely to get Myocarditis than people with the mRNA vaccines. In either case, it is a rare and reversible condition. the fact that a later vaccination didn’t change your long covid suggests that the condition was established during the infection when you had active virus. The later vaccine would only protect against subsequent infections, not reverse the effects of the original infection. I’m sorry.

  Unlike most of the tissue in your body, the heart tissue is VERY slow to regenerate, if at all.
