Between the fact that a nontrivial number of 20-30 year olds have died, and the serious but poorly understood post-Corona symptoms which may be chronic or lifelong (blood clots, paralysis, lung tissue scarring/reduced lung capacity, Corona Toe, etc) I don’t think any 20-something who’s been reading the news is going to be too keen on the idea of “just getting it over with”.
There may be less well-informed people who would be down for something like this, but it’s not a decision that would be driven by a realistic appraisal of what we know and what we know we don’t know.

If it's just a convenience that exempts you from international travel quarantines, sure, that doesn't really change the calculus. If bars reopen in July for immune people and 2022 for everyone else... I think there are a lot of young party animals who legitimately like clubbing enough that they'd consider it worth the risk.
