You have my admiration, and my hope that you are calculating the risks accurately!
I have not read the RaDVaC paper so I don’t have a good object level model of safety and risks. From a distance it looks like heroism, because from a distance it looks like taking a risk in a way that could provide a role model for many if it works safely! It reminds me a bit of Seth Roberts who was a part of the extended tribe who did awesome stuff over and over again (seemingly safely) but who also may have eventually guessed wrong about safety.
I guess I just want to say: “This is so freaking awesome, and PLEASE be very careful, and also please keep going if the risks seem worth the benefits.”
If you get a positive antibody result, have you thought about a personal challenge trial?
The big benefits to be gained from vaccination seem to be to be behavioral: going out, doing life similarly to the Before Times… which is similar to a partial/random/natural sort of “challenge trial”.
I wonder if 1daysooner can or would be interested in keeping track of people who have tried the RaDVaC option, to build up knowledge (based on accidental exposures or intentional challenges) of some sort.
