My comment comes from chatter I've seen from actual infectious disease specialist and my friend who's has a masters in public health. My friend was assuring people that getting the second dose 'late' wasn't going to be a problem.

Other chatter I've seen is that which part of the immune system does the heavy lifting varies depending on the infectious agent. With Covid it's the CD4 T lymphocytes that appear to what's important. Antibodies by themselves aren't that effective. (Notable antibody based therapy has been a bust with Covid19)
