No, what is the point of getting sick.

If I were in a tornado, and I were thirsty, I would first stop and prioritize. Yes, right there in the spinning whirlwird of dust and objects, I would extend my hands. I would hold in my right hand the consequences of possibly dying of thirst sometime in the near future. In my left, I would imagine the crushing defeat I might be up against when faced with a tornado that I perhaps should move away from. Now I don't know about you, but dying of thirst is NOT my cup of tea, you see.
So of course, I'd seek out the nearest public toliet, dip in a ladle or a recyclable paper cup (whichever I could find first) and use it as a holy grail from which to slake my deadly thirst.
Okay? Jeez.
:p

The problem with your question is you don't say whether drinking out of toliet is a matter of life and death. If it is just a matter of convience for an hour, why bother. If it a matter of life and death, of course I would. Any disease I would get from the water would be better than certain death. You just don't get better from death.
If you read stories of the Holocaust, you will see that people went to great lengths to survive. Scott died in Antartica, in part because he could not conceive of the idea of eating his dogs. The Donner party, a group of 19th century settlers, were trapped for the winter in the Rocky Mountains. They survived by eating their dead. One of them later opened a restaurant, but that is a story for another time.
While camping in the Rocky Mountains, I ran out of water and found a little pool of water in a small depression of a rock. It had mosquito larave in it. I strained it through my kerchief, boiled it and drank it. I had no problem with that. It was far more dangerous to get dehydrated than to worry about drinking the water.
Some folks will do what they have to in order to survive. What is it they say? Old age is not for sissies.

In desperate times people will do desperate things. Unless you are really in a terrible situation you don't know how you will behave. Look at the famous incident in 1972 of the crashed airplane in South America where the plane survivors turned to cannibalism!

No. A tornado is devastating but it won't reduce a man to a dog. There would be no need.

Tornado no. I wouldn't be that desperate.

I drink out of the toilet on a daily basis.

No, I'd go to my fridge and get some water.

I would if that was my last resort of water.
