What are the reasons not to take Dr Charles Hoffe’s research into clotting from vaccines seriously?

It seems like a reasonable study to be conducting and curious why pharma isn’t following patients d dimer and platelet results. They already linked d dimers as a bio marker for COVID-19

Mainly asking for the PhD life sciences consultant perspective

Post the paper i cant find it, will look into it and see how it was written tho

https://www.uptodate.com/contents/covid-19-vaccine-induced-immune-thrombotic-thrombocytopenia-vitt/print#H82181942

Here one paper that does not advise testing for platelets or d dimers - I find this odd to advise not testing for these as opposed to just advising to not take results independently of other signs and symptoms.

Why would it be advised not to test for these?
