The rna gives your body instructions to create the spike protein. Protection relies on your body reacting to the spike protein and creating antibodies. You're the factory.

There's a delay from when you generate the spike protein to when your body generates effective antibodies. By that time, in certain individuals, the virus has already run rampant and clotted up the pulmonary microcirculation and your really way behind the curve. The real treatment are the monoclonal antibody shots from Eli Lilly and Moderna, the stuff that Trump, Giuliani, and Carson got. Basically soaks up virus and drops your viral load to minimal -- you follow that up with an antiviral like remdesivir to slow down viral re-growth and let your immune system take over -- and you're out of the hospital in a few days

The curious part is that these new mRNA vaccines are actually recipes for our bodies to create the Antigen - the viral spike protein - to which our immune system will create Antibodies. It all takes time - and after a person is already infected, it’s too late for a vaccine to stop that. The disease will have enough time to develop. Unless, the person is already immune. The existing antibodies will attack the viral antigen. If the levels of antibodies are low, there are still long term immunity memory mechanisms, which can kick in - and start manufacturing effective antibodies very fast, possibly within hours.
