It's like other fields in that most doctors are ethical but there can be financial benefits to bending or breaking professional ethics. For example, there are doctors whose bread-and-butter is recommending medically unnecessary surgeries so that they can bill medicaid/medicare/insurance companies for the procedure. And, as with other fields, other doctors and professional associations have an incentive to ignore that behavior until it becomes pretty flagrant. If there's a law that requires you to consult a pediatrician before you can endanger your kids, there's probably going to be a niche market for pediatricians who will just gently validate your anti-vaccine woo bullshit in exchange for a premium fee. That said, the people who are going to look for that are the "hard" anti-vaccination parents who never intended to do it in the first place. I think the bill will work just fine for educating parents whose objection to vaccines is much more vague and squishy, who are liable to just go to their GP and wind up absorbing some facts.
