Jun 7, 2022 at 9:25 comment added Fedor Petrov Lines on the usual (affine) real plane also work. Or a rational plane, if you prefer countably many vertices and edges.
Jun 7, 2022 at 9:21 comment added bof For a counterexample with infinite edges, consider a maximal almost disjoint family of infinite subsets of $\mathbb N$ which contains an infinite collection of pairwise disjoint sets. Alternatively, consider the lines of the real projective plane.
Jun 7, 2022 at 9:20 comment added Fedor Petrov Ooops. I was thinking on perfect matching instead, sorry

Jun 7, 2022 at 9:03 comment added bof @FedorPetrov How is the hypergraph consisting of all infionite subsets of a countably infinite set a counterexample to the original question? If $E_0=\{e_1,e_2,e_1\cup e_2\}$ where $e_1\cap e_2=\varnothing$, then $E_0$ has no choice set. What am I missing?

restriction to finite edges
Jun 7, 2022 at 8:08 comment added Dominic van der Zypen Right, Fedor, thanks for your answer. Is it still the same if all the members of $E$ are finite? I will modify the question accordingly. - I was hoping some compactness argument would work, but I didn't manage it. If you write down the compactness argument in an answer (or provide another answer), I'll be more than happy to accept
