Maybe I'm missing something but it seems like you're just independently inventing the concept of a vaccine.

Or a Pox Party: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pox_party

Not that outrageous.

Jail inmates in California did that in an attempt to get released.

Who's stopping you from doing that? Pretty much all the restrictions are on the honor system so if you think that's a good idea go ahead.

The restrictions prevent me from buying a reasonable dose at the store. How am I supposed to do it, go around licking bus seats? I don’t know anyone positive in town, and asking in public forums has not gotten results.

So you think that, like, 7/11 should be selling pure novel coronavirus? Not really the same idea as a pox party and seems like it has obvious downsides to just make that available to anyone.
