    Devil’s advocate, is she trying to say compared to those unvaccinated but still exposed to/have had the virus? Or people who were never exposed? Because that could maybe change the context. You would think antibodies from a vaccine would stay around the same length of time as those exposed to the live virus directly.

    If she is talking about people never exposed than I have no idea what she is talking about.

      No. Just no. For many reasons. Don’t be part of the problem. “You would think…” stop there. You don’t need to use conjecture when there is research at your fingertips. Signed - worked in bacterial and viral genetics and vaccine development for decades.

          Well, let’s imagine that vaccine antibodies do actually stick around longer for a moment. All right. Who cares?

          I could certainly think it was interesting. But concerning? In what way? “Oh no, I accidentally have too much money.” Okay. And?

          This is essentially an appeal to nature fallacy. We don’t need to imagine she has a point to make; she’s trying to scare people.
