I think this is a silly way of thinking about things. An analogous proposal would be: Academics proposing responses for COVID which will be economically ruinous for many people should give up their jobs. Also: Ignoring HI threatens to cause more COVID deaths, not less.
Ah, I see. You have not seen jokes on twitter before. I was not seriously suggesting that anyone actually infect themselves, this would be a terrible thing to do

While I didn't think it was a serious suggestion, I didn't see it as a joke either. The point is that I think there is actually a serious and important question here which this downplays in a unhelpful way.
