On a public health level you would be making the probability of a vaccine escaping variant more likely by incubating a bunch of virus in an environment where vaccine escaping mutations have a competitive advantage. On a personal level, it seems like if you succeed in getting it you're likely going to be feel fairly sick (a fairly substantial downside in my opinion), and the upside seems to be relatively minor since in the case of a vaccine escaping variant we will be well positioned to make a variant of the vaccine for it quickly and with minimal red tape.
