gollark: I'm pretty sure drug discovery is very hard.
gollark: Um. How?
gollark: Also, aren't cytokine storms a thing of *too much* immune response?
gollark: Plus it might be dependent on long-term environmental things or genetics, in which case good luck.
gollark: I would assume it's because the immune system still isn't extremely well-understood, and vaccination is easier and more consistent.
