Currently there are two major theories of the pathology for Long Covid:
1. The virus somehow persists in tissue and keeps the body fatigued with new outbreaks
2. The initial infection pushes the immune system into an unbalanced state (possibly autoimmune) that keeps the body in a constant hyperactive fighting state
But there are many cases where people get Long Covid, or at least symptomatically almost equal to Long Covid after vaccination. Since the vaccines don‘t have any replicating virus in them shouldn’t this rule out the theory of persisting virus.
