I don't know about this one, sounds a bit like anaphylactic shock isn't a big deal because we've made good strides in actually helping people manage and treat it. Which is a good thing, but we can't understate its severity.

Also, our bodies are good at doing things which are technically trying to save us, but actually kill us that doesn't mean we sit idle and do nothing about it, the same is for fevers.

Anaphylactic shock is the body reacting to protect itself against something that isn't actually harmful, but it is doing so to such an extreme that in many cases it kills you.

It's easy to look back at something as a conspiracy when the very impact of it has been mitigated for the average person due to proper healthcare.
