We don't give vaccines to people without subjecting them to comprehensive and time-consuming clinical trials. So why would we willingly subject half the population to a virus that we seem to know very little about? Are there long term health effects to an "otherwise healthy" person being infected with COVID-19? Are there potential long-term lung issues, even in a person who is symptomatic but does not require hospitalization? I worry about these things based simply on reading the anecdotes of many younger, healthy people who have dealt with this virus. It's extremely clear in those anecdotes that this virus is nothing like the common cold or the flu. Yet so much of the rhetoric seems to make that assumption. I'd hate to take the "this is silly, let's open things up for the healthy" approach only to be in a situation 20 years from now where we are dealing with the misery of mass-scale respiratory disease that gets linked back to these infections.
