I don't think this is a good idea. It's an incentive for people desperate to get back to work (or back to partying) to deliberately try to get infected to get it over with. Especially young people who tend to think they're invulnerably anyway, and especially given the public perception of the risk profile.

Business idea: infection as a service ...

Basically, it's a "license" for freedom. What a convoluted and contradictory concept. Given the past, and Germany's "Never Again" sentiment, I'm surprised this can even be considered.

I find your answer rather convoluted and contradictory. Throwing a pragmatic pandemic response action into the same bucket as the Holocaust is preposterous at best and disrespectful at worst.

The virus does obviously not descriminate against any human being in terms of spreading and so neither does a certificate of immunity. Having people go out and move and freely exercise their civil rights as much and quick as possible without compromising the health of other parts of society while doing it sounds pretty ideal to me.
