I'm a numbers guy. I happened to just stumble onto this article [0], summarizing a study on the vaccines and long covid:
> Compared to an unvaccinated individual, the risk of long Covid in a fully vaccinated individual was cut by only about 15 percent, the study found.
> Dr. Greg Vanichkachorn, director of the Mayo Clinic’s Covid Activity Rehabilitation Program in Rochester, Minnesota, who was not involved with the new study, said the results were not “too surprising.”
> “We know that the majority of folks with long Covid have not had severe infections,” he said.
Not very much help against long covid on average, nothing like the protection against hospitalizations in vulnerable populations.
