You're supposed to bake a cake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. You can't bake it at 3500 degrees for 3 minutes instead.

Is alpha-gal syndrome fake? If not, then what exactly from the tick bite persists in your system forever afterwards?

Alpha-gal is an immune response. If a vaccine caused the allergy or triggered the immune response, you would see it in the short-term. It wouldn't appear years later, long after the vaccine was gone.
