We know modern induced antibodies last longer than Pfizer ones. This is most likely dose response function. The pfizer trio will put folks at 90mcg the three modernas will be 250mcg. The pfizer triple is less than 1 moderna. Side effects may increase though at the higher dose though.

There are Memory T cells and Memory B cells that last for decades. So if these cells were able to fend off the virus by themselves, you could have zero antibodies and be fine.
