I have said "infinite alpha gal syndrome upon the carnists" before but only as a joke. Being real for a moment, I don't think it's good for people to develop potentially deadly allergies to something still widely found in drugs and vaccines, even if those drugs and vaccines shouldn't be using animal products to begin with. Like AGS was only discovered because some people experienced anaphylaxis when they took a drug for colorectal cancer.
Yes, I used to joke about this being a good thing, but the allergy, like you said, can get triggered by all sorts of common products (including toothpaste) and means that even if you adopt a vegan approach, you still can’t eat public food or use anything without care because you can get a reaction and die.
