This idea doesn't mix well with Covid's very high rate of asymptomatic cases (which may be even higher among the vaccinated).

At least where I live (Wales, UK), asking citizens to avoid healthcare for several years to "Save the NHS" has resulted in an ongoing health crisis of unprecedented proportions.

Indeed. Isn't it counterproductive (and also contrary to the history of public health remedies) for a "vaccine" to only reduce symptoms but not reduce infectivity? Doesn't that cause people to go to work and school when they might not have otherwise?

"Save the NHS" has a long history pre-COVID19, too. <https://twitter.com/KulganofCrydee/status/833654730849136641>
Hence the absurd situation where you "need" to get vaccinated to be a good person, but you also need to keep testing, in case you leave the house while infected.
And lowering odds of getting severe adverse effects in the case of infection is a net plus for you.
Regarding the health system, you are not immune to everything. A saturated health system may not be available for you if you i.e. have an accident.
Even not caring about COVID that it spread more may affect you. You are part of a system.
