I mostly agree. The problem is mostly with populations that have a large number of un-vaccinated people. If we could separate those unvaccinated people from the vaccinated people then the vaccinated people could go back to normal and I agree the impact is probably small (not quite sure about "mild disease you get once in a while" but something we could live with). However when you have a 50/50 mix of people who have mild disease you get in a while and people who get a serious disease that leads to hospitalizations and death at a relatively high rate you now have a problem. And it's a problem for the vaccinated 50% who would not be able to get into the hospital when they have a medical emergency, or can't get their scheduled medial procedure done, or bearing the costs associated with those other 50%, or even just having a higher likelihood of getting sick with something they obviously prefer not to get (mild or not).
So the governments are optimizing for this (forcing us to do X) ... not for the individual but for public health and public (general) concerns. Just like they're forcing us (and fining us, darn!) not to drive through red lights, or exceed the speed limit. Are they always doing a great job? nope, but hey we voted for those guys (at least in functioning democracies)...
So here we are.
