Lots of people on /r/covidlonghaulers and on twitter have reported suffering Long Covid after having been vaccinated. The last report out of the UK from the ONS in July 2023 [1] shows that most sufferers are actually from Omicron onwards and in the UK adult vaccination is above 80%.
The vaccines just don't defend against Long Covid, they may reduce the risk a bit the studies show some potential protective effect but its definitely not sufficient. Given the high risk and high debilitation of Long Covid it would be sensible to take precautions to avoid catching Covid again until such time as protective vaccination is available as Long Covid will ruin your life.
