What if it turns out that everyone who is relatively healthy..
i.e. not old,fat..etc
Would have been better off if they had been injected with the actual covid-19, suffered through the disease and then came out the other side with some immunity.
At some point, if so many had immunity, it would stop circulating and those at greater risk would have less chance of being exposed.

Natural immunity from prior infection is better than any immunity from lab created immunity.
