You don’t say what your point is, Hugh, so I will have to guess.

While most infections are circulating amongst largely unvaccinated young people, most will not even know they’ve had it or will only develop mild symptoms. If we want to eliminate long Covid cases from the extremely small cohort of young people who might contract it, then we should vaccinate them.

Your approach to the successful vaccination programme appears to be ‘Never mind, let’s carry on with restrictions’. That is perverse and substantially negates the imperative to get vaccinated in the first place.

Whatever!
I thought the point was obvious - you stated people caught long COVID because they weren’t vaccinated, but had previously said current infections were mainly amongst younger people (who are/were unvaccinated), QED it is likely that young people would be getting long COVID.

Now you’re doubling down by stating even if they do get long COVID, it won’t be many of them? You don’t have to have had severe COVID to get long COVID.

Significant number of those with long Covid were asymptomatic when first infected, study finds

Research found some of those who at first did not seem to be badly affected later developed a large and damaging immune response
Can I ask how you know it is an "extremely small cohort", please?
