Dear KayAbbott: My concern is that maybe the cytokine storm may have been due to the vaccine and not the disease. There are so many reports of vaccinated people have blood clots and other strange heart symptoms. It is truly an issue that we know little about. Glad it worked out well for you. William

The covid vaccines and booster for me resulted in minor inflammation that went away within 3 days. I had fever and chills for the first Moderna shot but just a bit tired for later vaccines and boosters. I have a few autoimmune diseases and suspect my covid hit wouldn't have been as bad if I hadn't been glutened the same day as covid exposure. I know that there is a very minor risk of reaction to the covid vaccines, including increased blood viscosity. I've had two friends die of heart attack/myocarditis after getting covid, and two others with heart damage. I wonder if some of the blood clotting risk could be minimized by taking aspirin or other blood thinner when getting covid or vaxxed/boosted? CDC, NIH, and Nature all have online risk/benefit analyses of getting vaccinated/reactions. Unfortunately, most people don't know how science works (I was a research scientist) and this combined with miscommunication/misinformation has resulted in some distrust of science. The distrust started a few decades ago with climate science politicization. Or actually, centuries ago when scientists reported things people don't want to hear.
