Yes, you CAN have asymptomatic covid and develop long covid after that.

AND it happens to be quite unfortunate that the vaccines are not as good at preventing long covid in the vaccinated than we hoped. I've read it prevents long covid from as little as 15% of the time up to about 50% of the time. Especially waning over time I think?

That's why I'm getting my booster next weekend, the new one. Can't wait for my kids to be allowed to get it, they are in the 5-11 ranges. Hopefully it will only be a few weeks.

My MIL caught it on vacation, and had a very mild case. She developed long covid, and a worsening of her other illnesses. She had 2 doses, but had not gotten around to the booster. My FIL was boosteed, he never tested positive.
