This trope annoys me because it was weaponized against Stephen Barrett by quacks for years and years and years and years after he retired and let his license lapse, as many retired physicians do.

Being a nurse or a doctor makes embracing antivaccine pseudo science worse on several levels. It’s a betrayal of duty, and it gives you additional clout that these people abuse in the service of misinformation. I agree that we cannot deny their background and think we shouldn’t.

I've had this conversation a few times. Words matter. I went to school & graduated 2nd in my class as a CDA. I was a CDA, I am not currently a CDA. She has no reason, other than appealing to own authority, for wearing scrubs to the capital or calling herself Sandra RN on FB.
So don’t say she isn’t a nurse. That is lying. Say she’s unlicensed. She IS. A nurse, however. We shouldn’t lie about that.
I WAS a certified law enforcement officer through the state of Minnesota. My certification would need to be upgraded and recertified if I wanted to practice law enforcement. I cannot represent myself as a law enforcement officer.
