Allow me to explain again in just a
slightly greater detail, but in as simple a layman’s language as possible why
booster doses of any vaccine, not just Covid vaccines are not necessary even if
antibodies elicited after the first dose drop
First of all, I have already explained
earlier in another chat, all proteins including the body’s own proteins from
muscles, organs, including red blood corpuscles or RBC containing the
haemoglobins as well as the plasma of the blood is degenerated and replaced
after a certain lifespan in the body. The human body is made up almost
(80 %) entirely of proteins (besides water).
This includes enzymes and certain hormones
produced by the endocrine glands (some hormones are made of steroids not
proteins).
Hemoglobin for example is composed of four
protein chains, two alpha chains and two beta chains, each with a ring-like
heme group containing an iron atom. Oxygen binds reversibly to these iron atoms
and is transported through blood. The lifespan of RBC containing the protein is
only 120 days and is replaced by the proteins and iron in the food.
This replacement takes several metabolic
steps (pathways) and may also involve DNA and RNA by which DNA is copied to RNA
is called transcription, and RNA translates them into proteins (translation).
Unfortunately, these protein inclusive
antibodies (immunoglobulins) do not remain long as with all other body’s
proteins. As a result, the antibodies whether from the first dose, second,
third or any multiple doses of any vaccines keep dropping after some days /
weeks or months
The way most proteins are destroyed is by a
process called oxidative deamination. This is the first step in breaking down
the amino acids, including the antibodies made of (immune)globulins so that
they can be converted to sugars. Globulins are proteins (amino acids).
Normally this process begins by removing
the amino group of the amino acids. The amino group becomes ammonium as it is
lost and later undergoes the urea cycle to become urea in the liver. It is then
released into the bloodstream, where it is transferred to the kidneys, which
will secrete the urea as urine.
The remaining portion of the amino acid
becomes oxidized, into an alpha-keto acid. The alpha-keto acid will then
proceed into the Hans Kreb’s cycle, in order to generate energy. The acid can
also enter glycolysis, where it will be eventually converted into pyruvate. The
pyruvate is then converted into acetyl-CoA so that it can enter the Kreb’s
cycle and convert the original pyruvate molecules into ATP, or usable energy
for the organism.
However, in the case of these antibodies
they can be degenerated by intracellular proteases (protein-destroying
enzymes in the cells).
Hence with these continuing series of
degenerative pathways, the antibodies keep dropping whether with first, second,
third or any multiple doses of the vaccines that are being injected
This becomes meaningless if we cannot
maintain their titre levels, especially when we are not infected at all in
between these unnecessary doses.
In fact, we make ourselves worse by
unnecessarily challenging, insulting and injuring our immunological system into
exhaustion with multiple doses of antigens from these vaccines until it can no
longer produce the antibodies. See my explanation separately here:

What is far more important is not merely
continuing to give booster doses where the body cannot retain the antibodies
elicited, but we need to understand the body remembers for a very, very long
time its first exposure whether to a live infection or via an attenuated virus
through the first dose of the vaccine.
This the body does through its
immunological memory where reinfection at any later time leads to a rapid
increase in antibody production and effector T cell activity. These later
infections become very mild or even unapparent as we can see with the Omicron
variant of this Covid-19 virus compared to all the previous other
variants. This is probably due to the herd immunity in place after over 3
years of pandemic exposure.
Immunological memory follows after a
primary immune response against the antigen. Immunological memory is thus
generated after a previous initial exposure, to either a life infection or
through just the first dose of the vaccine.
The result of a secondary immune response
is similar to primary immune response through the body’s memory B and T cell.
These cells recognize the antigen presented
through its peptide (spike or other infective proteins). After the primary
immune response has disappeared, the effector cells of the immune response are
eliminated. However, there remain the antibodies previously generated by the
body that represent the humoral component of immunological memory (to
produce more antibodies as needed), and it is this that comprises an
important defensive mechanism in subsequent infections, and not by the
vaccines, no matter how many multiple doses were given.
In adding to the formed antibodies in the
body there remains a small number of memory T and B cells that make up the
cellular component of the immunological memory.
These stay in blood circulation in a
resting state and at the subsequent encounter with the same antigen or even the
mutagenic antigen (virus) these cells are able to respond instantly and remove
the antigen. Memory cells have a long life and last up to several decades in
the body.
This explains why we get immunity to
chickenpox, measles, and some other diseases for life.
However, immunity to some diseases may
eventually wear off. The immune system's response to a few diseases, such as
dengue, counterproductively makes the next infection worse (antibody-dependent
enhancement).
As of 2019, researchers are still trying to
investigate why some vaccines provide life-long immunity, while the
effectiveness of other vaccines drops to zero in less than 30 years (example
mumps) or less than six months (for H3N2 influenza).
However, I think the current Covid pandemic
is slowly weakening after over 3 years of infectivity even as more and more
variants are evolved whereby with each variant being created, our collective
human immunity, variedly called herd immunity, societal immunity, combined
immunity, shared immunity…etc began to weaken them. See my explanation here:

I hope I have managed to explain in +lay’s
man language why booster doses of vaccines is really not necessary if we can
understand how our body is wonderfully and fearfully made (Psalm 139: 13 – 14).
