See if there is a national cooperative association in your country, I’ve received help from them in the past when starting a co-op.

1. You’re admitting to letting anti-masker CHUDs effect your decisions more than your immunocompromised comrades who could die from exposure to this virus. Your framing it as individual effort vs the bourgeois machine, without seeing that it’s mutual aid and building class solidarity. You could easily take your point of individual action vs “the machine” all the way to giving up and calling all leftist politics useless.

2. Just because you had an asymptomatic infection once, doesn’t mean you’ll always be a “silent carrier” with no ill effects and only be able to tell you’re infected through tests. As @buttbidet mentioned, viral load effects severity of infection. Also, every COVID infection, regardless if it’s symptomatic, carries a 10%+ chance of developing long COVID.

edit: 3. every immuncompromised person has gone through what you’ve experienced seeing the capitalist machine embrace COVID, but about 100x worse because the consequences are life and death for us and we’ve been almost completely abandoned. we’ve lost friends and family that are “over” dealing with us, we’re forced to live as hermits, we can’t even get medical professionals to don a mask to keep us safe. Every person I see wearing a mask is a little boost to my morale to keep going, keep fighting through until we can build a world that cares about disabled people. Every “leftist” friend who gives up because they can’t handle the societal pressure to comply and be “normal” does the opposite.

Yeah, influenza B was eradicated locally even with our very performative COVID measures, zero wastewater detection and no confirmed local cases for months on end. Stayed that way until mask mandates were dropped.
