>Physicians are ethically forbidden from recommending a medical treatment that’s a harm to the patient, even if it’s in the interest of society. Vaccines work at the population level, physicians don't check if you're going to benefit, society benefits. That is still ethical, depending on the ethical framework. I don't think doctors truly hold the Hippocratic Oath as ground truth, most probably don't believe in Apollo, for example.
