Question for anyone that knows about vaccines either by education or just by significant research recently because I don't feel as though I understand things very well. Does it seems like the effectiveness provided by mRNA vaccine (ie the covid vaccine) is disappointing? There are reports out today that apparently a third dose, booster, loses effectiveness as early as 4 months and this is on the heels of the second dose losing effectiveness after 6 months. Maybe this is just because of the Omicron variant and if we were still dealing with earlier variants the effectiveness would not drop off as quickly but I really don't know. If we had a "conventional" live vaccine instead of mRNA would we be in a better position hypothetically? The biggest benefit of mRNA vaccine is the increased speed of development and production but are we sacrificing protection for that speed?
