Serious question here...
If messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines teach our cells how to make a protein that will trigger an immune response inside our bodies, why is there a need for a second shot, or a booster? Why does what the vaccine does, degrade over time, so that a booster is needed?
I actually tried to google this, but of course there are nothing but a bunch of puff pieces that come up, saying what a booster is relative to one of the first two jabs, etc., etc.
I figured those who are pro-vax should know info like this, which is why I'm asking.
