tl;dr:
- When cells detect alien stuff (antigens), they present it on their surface to T-cells.
- T-cells are of different types, to a given antigen only a few will react.
- But there are antigens that bypass the selection process and trigger many more T-cells, they are called superantigens: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superantigen.
- Every triggered T-cell alarms the immune system by releasing messenger stuff.
- Too many triggered T-cells lead to an overreacting immune system.
- This overreaction can lead to a toxic shock and to the cytokine storm that kills C19 patients.
- Some bacteria and viruses use superantigens to derail the immune response.
- The staphylococcal toxic shock syndrome is caused by the superantigen "staphylococcal enterotoxin B" (SEB): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxic_shock_syndrome.
- This paper: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7568239/ claims that:
- The spike protein of SARS-2 contains a superantigen,
- this superantigen is similar to SEB, and
- this is new to SARS-2, SARS hasn't anything like this.
- The spike proteins created by the vaccines contain the same SEB-like superantigen.

And we have an winner! Nice summary of how this bio weapon works. Its not a accident, its a purposeful modification of the spike to make it lethal.
