In defence of the crew, if they need one: if the cabin crew acted iaw with their medical training (which would have included dealing with the victim of anaphylactic shock) and the captain had time to obtain, consider, and if it was safe to do so, act upon whatever
professional medical advice was available I’d expect the airline management (even at BA) to back them up.
That said it would have been a horrible situation to try and manage.
