It's more that sars-cov-2 is just a nasty virus with exceptionally good skills at evading the immune system, not that mRNA vaccine tech doesn't work after a few months. From what I understand covid-19 can suppress the immune system response and replicate before your body can really detect or react to it. It's only if you have a recent supply of covid-19 spike protein antibodies floating around your blood, like if you were recently vaccinated/boosted, that your immune system can get a faster alarm and head start at clearing a real infection.
So really any vaccine mRNA or not that's targeting the spike protein is going to see similar waning efficacy against infection. We see this with the Johnson and Johnson and Astrazenica shots which don't use mRNA tech for example.
