No wonders some people have an allergic reaction. Those people's immune response is more sensitive to this change.

No they have allergies to the polyethylene glycol PEG compound in the lipid nanoparticles. It is also used in skin creams, toothpastes, condom lubricants and in larger quantities as a laxative. Some people are just allergic to it.
