Has anyone been double vax'd, caught covid and ended up with long covid?

I know loads of people have been double vax'd and caught covid. Most people it seems get minor symptoms, but some have worse.

But I'm wondering if the virus is protecting against long covid? I know it's supposed to reduce your chances of hospitalisation and all. But is the covid you catch with a vaccine as bad as normal causing people to have long covid?

Anyone know?

I don't think there is enough data to know yet. Would be great if vaccination did eliminate long covid. At least we know vaccination reduces the likelihood you will get covid so that in itself reduces the likelihood of long covid. Long covid doesn't seem to be related to how severe the covid you get experienced was...so it will be interesting to find out

Apparently there is some data and the vaccine cuts risk of long covid by a third inews.co.uk/news/politics/long-covid-vaccine-cuts-chance-third-major-new-study-1058474

And that’s on top of the reduced risk of catching it in the first place

I hadnt thought about the vacc lessening the chance of long covid.
