Not sure what you mean by "an untested and unnecessary immune response" (are you suggesting that covid is 'fake news' or not serious enough to be vaccinated against, or have I simply misunderstood that part of your post?), but I certainly agree that there's nothing especially unexpected or alarming that a tiny minority of people with a history of serious allergies should have a reaction to this vaccine.

A more charitable interpretation of that comment is that vaccines work by tricking the immune system into reacting to something that is not dangerous. The reaction is necessary to train the immune system when the threat does arrive but the initial reaction doesn’t have any benefit on it’s own.

This is exactly what I meant.
