    Even if it is true that delta is more likely to trigger LC, the sheer number of people who have gotten omicron (and many have gotten it more than once) means the numbers of PwLC are greater than those who got delta.
    And little, if any investigation has been done about repeat infections and likelihood of LC (please correct me if I am wrong on that). Or on PwLC getting reinfected.......
