Long Covid is a wide range of symptoms with a very likely wide range of causes, a lot of them having nothing to do with lung scarring:
1. Post-intensive care syndrome (well known and reported after pneumonia);
2. Damage to the body due to the strong inflammatory immune response (probably exclusive to Covid);
3. Post-traumatic stress disorder (well known and reported after a wide range of severe disases);
4. Viral fatigue syndrome (a very murky area of medical research, but some people were known to be infected with obscure opportunistic diseases after past pandemics, perhaps due to a weakened immune system);
Etc.
Most of which very likely can be prevented through vaccination, though no efficacy studies were made yet AFAIK, perhaps because it's very hard to define long Covid and get a true random sample.
