The focus on rate of infection, as if that should be minimized, is misplaced. It would be reasonable to protect the vulnerable and focus on allowing healthy people to seroconvert to move the overall population to herd immunity.

The virus is in cats, so it is not going away.

You seem to be fixated on intentional seroconversion as an effective strategy we somehow "missed", but the experts (i.e. epidemiologists) seem to be pretty consistent that this is a poor strategy. Why are you convinced otherwise?

Seroconversion has a high risk of side effects. That's why nobody is doing it.
