First half of that sentence is right, the second half is wrong.

Reading the article, I see this paragrah:
"Variants on this hyperactive immune reaction occur in an array of conditions, triggered by infection, faulty genes or autoimmune disorders in which the body thinks its own tissues are invaders (see box). All fall under the umbrella term “cytokine storm,” named because substances called cytokines rampage through the bloodstream. "

So, where am I mistaken?

Having the spike protein in a variety of tissues doesn’t necessarily cause a cytokine storm.

It’s a question of severity. For example, Celiac (gluten allergy) is an autoimmune disorder primarily affecting the small intestine; but not everyone who has celiac has a cytokine storm when they eat food containing gluten.

Those who got the jab may have issues with their immune system attacking cells presenting the spike protein on their surfaces. But that doesn’t mean the immune system *has* to fly completely off the handle while doing it.

From what I have read the cytokine storm usually refers to the what is happening in the Lungs.
