Well maybe you skimmed a little too much, because the article clearly talks about the negative effects of an overactive immune system response being characteristic in some patients, and there was plenty of evidence of that in some people's wrecked lungs. Part of the therapy is to guide and even suppress the complex immune system response to keep people's bodies from destroying themselves.
Your comment didn't mention any of that and might be read by some as a "move along, nothing to see here." I think this is definitely not the case and people would be better served to read the article itself instead of your comment dismissing it and instructing them to skip over the section about immune system response.
I wasn't instructing anyone to do any such thing. Another way to frame my point: If the start of the article bores you to tears, hang in there. It gets meatier.

I replied to your comment because I read the article first and actually did learn this bit about the immune system response which is in the first half. If I had read your comment first I would likely would have skimmed the article (or even skipped it altogether) and missed it. In that situation your comment would have directed me away from learning something new. I'll continue to try to read articles before comments in the future.
