It's my understanding that Epinephrine injection buys 10-20 minutes at most and the patient still requires an immediate rush to a hospital. It is not a one-and-done cure.
Not sure why the idea of some other problem is off the table. Sure, they are rare. How often has it happened? Rarely. Usually when it happens in some quite public place, such as school or an athletic event is it noticed by the public at large.

I doubt it was an allergic reaction to an airline supplied peanut unless that was the fastest food cart attendant ever on a plane. The plane was reported to still be over LA at the time they noticed the problem.
