Water is life

Friends of mine have had a positive PCR test and classic covid symptoms. I'm considering visiting to see if I can catch it. The idea is to get natural immunity - that my body will produce antibodies which protect me from future similar infections. It's the same idea as sending kids round to contract chickenpox so that they are protected from a worse experience of it when they are older.
I am not going to take any so called vaccination and am opposed to any kind of social restrictions based on vaccination/antibody status.
My motivations are twofold:
1) I'd rather have covid in a planned way than coming across it at random in the future, especially because my immune system is in tip top condition right now and I expect it to drop over the long Scottish winter, (the assumptions here are that most people will contract covid, and that the variants are getting more dangerous,) and;
2) with the idea in mind that an antibody passport may be a useful thing in the future. (I'm in the UK, there are restrictions being placed on unvaccinated people's access to public spaces and it's highly likely to get more restricted but there are suggestions that having a positive antibody test could give the same 'privileges' as having had the required level of vaccination.)
It's possible that I already had covid, so my first step is to get an antibody test. I've no idea how reliable they are but I guess with the second motivation that doesn't really matter. If anyone has evidence about their reliability I'd appreciate that.
There is some confusion in me around whether I am supporting the creation of a reality which I disagree with if I take this action. I do believe that we are all powerful creators and that there is currently a manipulated collective manifestation of tyranny and illness. I'm unsure about the relationship between me as an individual and me as part of this collective, and the power of my intentions and actions over the wider reality. Am I manifesting tyrany and illness by deliberately contracting covid as an individual?
I am very healthy, aged 35 and don't feel at risk of anything serious. At the same time, I've a friend who is similarly positioned and had it, and now is struggling to cope with a distorted sense of smell. I know that this is an unpredictable disease. Am I being flippant with my health?
If I have symptoms, I will self isolate as I don't want to worry about passing it on to anyone else.
There is definitely an element of wanting to control here. I don't want to be in a position where I have covid symptoms without natural medications and with important comitments ahead and with a less strong immune system. There are internalised voices telling me that wanting to control is bad but I truly believe that there is a way of healthy control. Surely it's a good thing to understand my sphere of influence and exercise control there while accepting where I cannot influence?
Do I need to consider other factors?
What are people's opinions on taking this action?
Do we think that covid is likely to become a higher risk infection for unvaccinated people in future?
How likely are antibody passports to be something desirable?
