On long covid... as usual with anything covid, preprint and not yet peer reviewed. Good news. "Conclusions: Vaccination with at least two doses of COVID-19 vaccine was associated with a substantial decrease in reporting the most common post-acute COVID-19 symptoms, bringing it back to baseline. Our results suggest that, in addition to reducing the risk of acute illness, COVID-19 vaccination may have a protective effect against long COVID."

Good news for those in the Houston area. All of the data show that Houston had peaked a week or so ago. TMC is showing decreasing positivity and hospitalization. Houston waste water is also showing decreasing viral particle count. https://covidwwtp.spatialstudieslab.org/ https://www.tmc.edu/coronavirus-updates/ I am hopeful that Omicron is the final wave. Herd immunity might've been finally achieved through vaccination and Omicron infections. Luckily Omicron wasn't near as bad as Delta in terms of severity.
I remember reading 50% protection a while back, those results are pretty close, this looks a little bit better closer to 60% so that’s good to see. Still, fingers crossed omicron brings less / less severe long Covid with it not being as severe in the lower lungs. Billions of people don’t have vaccines, and 40% pool of vaccinated people is still a huge amount.
Not sure where you get the 60% from? This study is based on self reporting - what symptoms lingers. It said that vaccinated bring most long covid symptoms down to baseline (folks not infected with covid).

That's comparing vaccinated to unvaccinated. You would want to compare to the baseline (uninfected). "Those who received two doses were no more likely to report any of these symptoms than individuals reporting no previous SARS-CoV-2 infection." Individuals with no previous infection (the baseline) also have lingering symptoms. So those with two doses didn't report any more symptoms than the uninfected. Here is the chart of the symptoms.
Weird that 1 shot is higher is a little bit higher in almost every area then the no shot infected grouping. Good that the 2 shot is so effective. And again, hoping long Covid is less severe with omicron, still billions of people without vaccines right now, omicron will definitely reach the vast majority of them before a shot.
It's weird. Since this is self-reporting and beliefs do play a part in one health, I was just guessing that play a part - those unvaccinated don't believe in the danger of covid19 as much as those that are vaccinated but not yet fully. Hope so but outside of a much less ability to infect the lung, I haven't read that Omicron is that much different from the previous variant, so it seems unlikely...
