This is such poor sensationalized fear-based reporting.
There are extremely well enumerated principles in immunology. There's always exceptions in any sort of molecular biology and this article makes them sound like they are the rule or the standard.
Covid is extremely tame compared to other pathogenic viruses.
You want a scary virus, look at ebola which destroys epithelial cells and has 90% fatality rate , look at HIV which integrates into your genome.
The article implies that Covid is special in some regard in how it attacks the body. It's a standard virus. Every virus on the planet has people that are susceptible to it and it kills them. Every virus on the planet can cause you damage via immune system over response. That's how influenza kills and its way better at it.
The entire human physiology and biology in general is crazy with exceptions to every rule and millions of years of evolution makes it hard for us to understand why.
All of biology is crazy and unintuitive from the tree of life down to proteomics. But to say it so unpredictable is just false.
