But on the original point:

Headlines on this have said it "shows that some people will not have long-lasting immunity", and "undermines the ability of a vaccine to protect the population"

Dr Iwasaki demonstrates that this is not the case https://twitter.com/VirusesImmunity/status/1297890434262474758
For reference: that chart on primary and secondary immune responses from natural infection is pretty much the spitting image of this one on how vaccines and boosters work https://www.researchgate.net/figure/The-immune-response-following-primary-vaccination-and-natural-infection-booster_fig1_265358601
