> I just calculated by risk of dying from COVID-19 on https://www.qcovid.org/ and it is 1 in 15873.

It's not the risk of you dying that is important. It's the risk of you passing it on to other people.

If your son passes it on to his grandparents, teachers, service workers, or even his girlfriends immunodeficient sibling, would you still think it's absolute madness?

Yes, because the others can get vaccinated (provided vaccines will be available). With vaccines available it is really not much differnt from the flu (which btw. causes hundreds of thousands of deaths despite vaccines being available). So yes, it is madness.
