Wasn't "cytokine storm" what made the second wave of Spanish Flu so deadly?

The mRNA types produce two types of immunity. One that is present in bodily
fluids, such as blood. This is the type that produces antibodies and is the
way that historical vaccines work. mRNA vaccines also trigger cellular
immunity, whereby production of phagocytes removes virus-infected cells.
Arguably there's a third way, the stimulation of cells to produce substances
called cytokines which play a part in the way other cells are involved in
immune response. Plus it's new technology and I'm interested.

Why would you choose one (type of) vaccine over another, given that they
all seem more or less equally effective, have no serious side-effects, and
mostly all require two doses?

Excellent stuff! I was spiked about three weeks ago. Knocked me on my
backside for a couple of days but wore off very quickly. Mine was
Astra-Zeneca (no choice; I would have preferred the mRNA type to the
viral vector one) which is supposed to be intramuscular. If that's how
it was administered, it was the most painless IM injection I've ever had
- in fact, the most painless injection full stop.
