While I've had thoughts along these lines as the "pragmatic" thing to do - given that the population level health effects of a busted economy and the fact that we're probably not changing the system anytime soon - we should still acknowledge that there's a lot we don't know about covid and that this would be a huge experiment. There are follow on health effects from both chicken pox (shingles) and polio viruses, for example, that often happen decades after their first onset - so we could have a "bonus" surprise from covid down the line. This would be to gain an immunity that is not assured as of yet - because we still don't know enough.
