Check more recent studies. There is no difference in viral loads or likelihood of transmission in vaccinated versus unvaccinated.

Even that seems to be waning, because I know plenty of vaccinated people who got infected and had a much tougher time than I did (infection before vaccine was available). But with that being the only possible benefit at this point, it doesn't come close to the justification needed to mandate the vaccine.

Me personally? I just got an antibody test recently, and after 8 months they're still going strong. Overall? Studies have shown natural antibodies to be quite long-lasting, I believe the longest one I'd seen so far went out to 9 months post-infection with no meaningful drop.
