The scientific consensus (yes, consensus does exist in the field(s) of science. but it's noted for what it is, not what critics like Michael Crichton, insist it is), is that this issue is "quackery". It has nothing to do with Trump/RFK Jr., pushing it as scientifically credible and worthy of coloring government policy. What it has to do with is "Science". Something called "peer review".

Stensballe, who worked with Aaby and Benn for 20 years, has been among those voicing doubts.
“It took years to see what I see clearly today, that there is a strange concerning pattern in their work,” Stensballe said in a phone interview from Copenhagen...said their work is full of confirmation bias — favoring interpretations that fit their hypotheses.
Those hypotheses overlap, in important areas, with the notions of Kennedy and other vaccine-skeptical officials at HHS.

Aaby and Benn did not respond to repeated requests for comment. They have vigorously defended their work elsewhere.
A Mixed Reputation
Many Danes admire the two for their decades of work in Guinea-Bissau, a nation of over 2 million people where, as in much of Africa, infant mortality has plunged over the past five decades. There’s even a novel, the 2013 Danish thriller The Arc of the Swallow, featuring a corporate plot to murder a scientist character clearly based on Aaby. The company’s goal: to keep him from publishing data showing deadly effects from the DTP shot. Benn has said she gave the author the idea for the book.
Aaby and Benn have trained around 30 scientists through their Bandim Health Project, named for a district of Bissau, Guinea-Bissau’s capital.
Yet Danish health authorities have never followed Aaby and Benn’s vaccine advice....Danish vaccine authorities are considering the addition of two of the shots Kennedy sought to drop from the U.S. schedule — against rotavirus and respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV.
“What’s important is that Christine doesn’t have influence on our vaccine policy,” said Anders Hviid, chief epidemiologist at Statens Serum Institut, the Danish equivalent of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
...
In a 2023 podcast with Tracy Beth Høeg, the Danish American sports medicine doctor and covid vaccine skeptic who led the FDA’s drug regulation from December until she was fired on May 15, Benn said she had vaccinated her son and daughter, now in their late 20s, under the complete Danish schedule of vaccines. Like the U.S. schedule, Denmark’s includes a less reactive form of the DTP shot known as DTaP.
