Thus, the antibody response gets stronger and more potent with time.


yes, and the plasma cell population derives from these B cells that have gone through somatic hypermutation selecting for a stronger antibody response. Interestingly memory B cells seem to derive from cells before and after hypermutation --- likely better for long term immunity if subtle changes in proteins like spike occur over time.
