If symptomless it should be used as a vaccine.

Actually, that’s kind of brilliant. Why not? It’s Covid, but it has no symptoms. They don’t even need to kill or attenuate the virus.
That’s right.
The key being if.
If it seriously degrades the immune system, a symptomless COVID or vaxx not-so-adverse effect may in the coming months or years, nonetheless, occasion all manner of diseases and symptoms.
Yes.
George Washington sailed all the way to the Carribean as a young man with his half-brother Laurence where he by chance contracted smallpox, fortunately recovering and carrying immunity for the rest of his life.
He wisely obliged all new recruits to the Continental Army to expose themselves to a known mild variant of smallpox via a needle and infected thread, and to submit to quarantine thereafter until they recovered from what was normally a two-week illness.
Your idea is a good one. There’s no doubt GW would have seized upon this option to upgrade his new recruit medical processing requirements.
