Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Multiple studies demonstrate that humoral immunity and neutralizing antibody levels following mRNA vaccination experience a notable decline over several months, supporting the claim that protection is short-term without booster doses.

The analysis

The retrieved papers consistently document that antibody levels and neutralizing titers following standard mRNA vaccination schedules wane over a period of several months (e.g., 6 to 12 months), necessitating booster doses to maintain high-level protection. The literature directly supports the claim that initial mRNA vaccine protection is time-limited.
