the CDC recognizes long covid, https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/long-term-effects/..., but not necessarily as a result of mild infections.

it is also worth noting that the CDC, so far, does not recognize vaccine-induced long haul syndrome as a real syndrome.

edit: re vaccinating the young, you need to pay special attn to the risks of myocarditis and pericarditis, which can potentially outweigh the benefits of the vaccine. vaccine advocates already made this mistake of ignoring vaccine risks with young women / GBS previously in the context of another vaccine and it would be a tragedy to needlessly maim the young with these new innovative vaccines.

The disease transmits to and reproduces in a huge pool of humans (vaccinated and unvaccinated) where it can mutate and evolve. That too is a problem which needs to be solved. Humans created this problem and humans can solve it, if certain Govt agencies get out of the way.
