I have heard that number in the press; however, the press aren't scientists and neither are the readers. Active antibodies do disappear over time, but the press doesn't talk about T-cells.
There are several types of T cells that are made, which work together with each other and with the B cells to bring about a cellular immune response. There are helper T cells, and cytotoxic T cells. The helper T cells stimulate B cells to release antibodies, and also trigger the activity of macrophages, which literally consume foreign pathogens. The cytotoxic T cells kill pathogens that are marked with particular proteins and are very specific in their action.
No one knows everything about COVID today while plenty do speculate erroneously.
