I’ll just note that the implied course of action is to send a bunch of immunocompromised people out on lots of cruise ships with known infected individuals to compare their death rates in different circumstances, to try to determine IF variolation and low viral load benefit those groups.
If you can’t see why someone would have ethical concerns about that, I think you should perform a full stop on anything that is critically important until you can at least understand the ethical objections (even if you disagree with them and think that the sacrifice is worthwhile and also think that you can get volunteers without coercion of any kind existing).
