It just goes to show that there will always be something to worry about. Once the cytokine storm doesn't happen in more than one or two individuals, then what? I would be surprised to find out if anyone even knows what a cytokine is, let alone a storm of them. I think I would be worried that driving to get the vaccination makes you vulnerable to traffic accidents. I worry that people with guns who get vaccinated and the localized pain from an injection might make them start shooting other people. There are other even more trivial worries than cytokine storms or random acts of gunfire.
“It just goes to show that there will always be something to worry about.”
True enough. I don’t lose sleep over it, and (unlike many on FR) I will get the vaccine if/when it becomes available. In any case, there is promising clinical evidence that CSS can be treated effectively with tocilizumab, along with a very high dose of vitamin C, if the treatment is administered before the patient becomes critically ill.
