I would argue that vaccines work as intended, they stimulate an immune response to a protein basically. The problem is how robust is the immune memory from the provocation AND how extensive is the damage from the immune response.

People often experience immune system dysfunction after infections, even minor, in which benign proteins are targeted by the body. Artificial pathogens are no different.

Or the immune system exhausts itself fighting the infection...

Why reach for complicated, synthetic explanations when the simple one is right in front of you?

That's also a possibility, for chronic illnesses. But ultimately I don't think its acute exhaustion, my hypothesis would be that during the inflammatory reaction the body incorrectly identifies unrelated proteins as being part of the pathogen and some of those proteins/genetic fragments are part of the body itself. Aka friendly fire.

Its like you are found at a crime scene with the criminals so the police arrest everyone including you because you were there.
