Well shit - I have albinism and I just moved to Pittsburgh last year. This explains why I kept thinking I was seeing people with albinism the past few days...

I just looked at the NOAH website - I literally walked by that hotel for the first time yesterday, what the hell are the chances?

Sounds like it ends tomorrow - I'm almost tempted to wake up early, go downtown and crash the breakfast, though I'm not sure what I'd do once I got there.

Any philosophy or school of thought that uses this kind of reasoning to weasel out from under their own argument is a default ’no’ for me.

I know nothing about Buddhism, but don't use a single person's interpretation of a philosophy (which, given that we are all fallible, is almost certainly flawed in some way) to dismiss the entire philosophy.

Vaccines don't bypass your immune system, they prompt it to start working by introducing a dead version of the virus which your immune system learns to identify. Now it can fight the virus if it encounters a live form later on. Receiving a vaccine prompts the exact same process that occurs when your body encounters the living virus, except you don't have to get sick from the virus while your immune system learns to fight it.

So, it's not like vaccines protect your immune system from having to work. They give instructions and a headstart to your immune system to do its normal work early.

Because of that, there shouldn't be a correlation between the vaccines and allergies, at least not for the reason you're inquiring about.
