This is just plainly untrue. Doctors disagree all the time about medical questions.

that discourse is already reflected in the consensus on who to vaccinate which is presented to you on that site as far as Denmark goes. Doctors don't just wing it, they go by those very same research results.
Doctors may disagree about individual cases of disease, they don't disagree at all about who to vaccinate, they follow guidelines.

"Oh, there's broad consensus because everybody follows the same document" looks worse, not better, than there being disagreement.
Broad consensus based on the merits > Internal disagreement > broad consensus based on "guidelines".

the only way to judge whether a vaccine has merit is by evaluating population level statistics on its risks and benefits. You either match the profile or you don't. There's nothing any individual doctor can add, that's not how vaccinations work. On what basis is a physician supposed to reject a vaccine when it would be indicated by the data, they just feel like it?

I mean, yes, informed personal judgment - just like every other medical decision they do.

This again is untrue. Some individual doctors I've encountered are much more pro-vax than others.
With medical questions there's not much middle ground. Either a treatment is indicated or not.
