@quartzmerlin As I write in my other comment - in principle, it is possible that there is a limited amount of triggers, such as certain compounds encountered in a limited amount of drugs and foods, or, that a certain complex sequence of events serves as a trigger, such as living in a too sterile environment at an early age. In such cases, triggering it and giving it becomes more or less equal.
Allergy is heritable. However, exactly 0 of my parents, grant parents, great grand parents and other relatives had such strong allergies as I do. In fact, with one exception of a weird allergy non of them has any. They did not grow up in as clean environment as I did, and their vaccination schedule was much less crowded.

A well-deserved dislike for covid injections propaganda. You could have chosen an example of any other vaccine that works far better and is far less controversial. Instead, you chose these particular ones, which a recent (I think) lancet paper shows are not better than natural immunity in terms of protection, and which do have a considerable range of acknowledged side effects that according to some governmental health agencies are too high for certain demographic groups. And who knows how much more there is given the lack of freedom of debate and information in the current extremely politically biased environment?
In fact, even if the censorship etc were removed, how to be sure that all long-term side effects are properly captured? My allergy have worsened a lot after one vaccine that is not usually made to general public. Could this be related? Judging by some titles found it google scholar, it could. But how is this monitored? Nobody checked on me, that's for sure. And on two other people with similar experiences that I know. In my case, it actually took me years before I realised that the condition I started having from time to time is allergy (well, I did have it before, but it was so mild, that I did not really care what it is).

@solaceinouroblivion2262 1) The data you should have looked at are reported in their weekly vaccine surveillance reports. You can see there that infection rates are higher in vaccinated for most age bins. These are the real world data.
1a) Why are these data better than in many other countries? That's because in Britain there is no discrimination like in other countries that prevents people from getting where they want without vaccination. Due to this discrimination unvaccinated in other countries make tests more frequently. In this situation, even if all positives are false positives, there will be higher rates of positives in unvaccinated than in vaccinated. Hence, the stats from such countries are useless unless reported alongside test rates and positivity rates by vaccination status. One country that has published these numbers recently is the Czech Republic (can be found through Ondřej Dostál from the site with a blue bird, I looked at the data for the week ending on the 23.11), and guess what! Vaccinated account for one third of positive cases - one might think what a success of those vaccines. However, this is until it becomes clear that vaccinated are tested three times less often, while the positivity rate is roughly equal to that of unvaccinated, suggesting that the actual infection rates are likely similar, as in British stats.
1b) Not that I think that compulsory vaccination can be justified, but the entire argument completely ruins if these injections don't stop infections. It is my choice whether I want to take personal risks with regards to the virus. As soon as you recall overwhelmed hospitals, you must also recall that they are overwhelmed by overweight people. So if are to go your path, you must first start with fat shaming. I'd like to see how that goes for you.
1c) Where are so called journalists who are supposed to scrutinise the governments? Are these stats not at very least a point of concern??? Are these stats not basis for scraping the idea of vaccine passports??? So why are they still being pushed???
1d) Consider also a paper in a high-ranking journal with a telling title "Increases in COVID-19 are unrelated to levels of vaccination across 68 countries and 2947 counties in the United States". Why wasn't this a big news while some preprints that fit the narrative are still not published months later than so-called journalists distributed them far and wide?
2) So we now all need to protect some collection of people. But why all of the sudden we prioritise these people and neglect others? Those with other diseases who were untreated? Those who lost their businesses? Those who lost homes? Who are you to tell me what I must do after your panicking about the virus that has no substantial risks for me has caused me to be left without home and income? And not by virtue of you stopping going about as normal, but by virtue of scraping away all the constitutional rights we had, whether afraid of the virus or not?
3) What about excess mortality in Britain in the past many months that exceeds the number of deaths from that virus (dig in to the ONS data to see, or find a rare report in the telegraph)? What is the cause of it? Why are the media are not all over it (last year I got an impression they like to look at excess mortality)? Who is responsible for it? This mortality affects younger people than the virus....
4) Fun fact - if you use the methods that are used to estimate how dangerous this current disease is (i.e. caclulates the ratio of deaths within 28 days to lab confirmed cases) to caclulate how dangerous influenza is from Swedish stats (Influenza in Sweden - Season 2018–2019), you get that the latter is more dangerous (the ratio is 3.8). Interesting why scaremongers did not circulate these numbers far and wide - what a cause of concern....
