In this paper below, 100% of the subjects who received Fluzone IIV
developed anti-influenza IgE after 2 months.
Flu vaccines as we know, contain 15 mcg of viral protein per strain.
Since most flu vaccines contain up to 1 mcg of ovalbumin, is it
reasonable to expect that 1 in 15 patients may also develop
anti-ovalbumin IgE, or egg allergy after 2 months?

It's been too long since my college days where I took a class on logic, but I think that the reasoning there is a logical fallacy (and sorry--don't have time to check what this fallacy is called).

But to say:

All As (and there were in fact only 8 of them??) in situation B leads to C.
Therefore all Ds (ES, FS, GS, etc.) also in situation B also lead to C.


I know you're asking a question, not making a statement, but for summary sake, I put it in statement form. 

I don't think that logic holds.
Me: Sesame, shellfish, chamomile, sage
DS: Peanuts
