That's not true. It's narrowly targeted at the S-protein, whereas natural infection will result in antibodies to the S and N proteins.

It's narrowly targeted at the S-protein Granted, because that's the immune reaction you want, as targeting the N protein will marshal an immune response but not be neutralizing. Natural infection does not produce as broad of a neutralizing response to different variants of the S protein.
