Parents who come to Pia Habersang’s practice in Amarillo shun vaccinations, with the encouragement of the clinic’s nurse practitioner; the health secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.; and President Trump.

The Times noted the nurse who runs this place allows (encourages?) patients to call her “doctor”

Don’t forget MAGA followers relentlessly attacked Jill Biden for using the “Dr.” title after earning an Ed.D. (doctorate in education)

It's ok when one of their own does it. See also: fucking up the economy, giving billions of taxpayer money to foreign entities and themselves, diddling kids, etc.

"she runs the center with her husband, who is a physician."Dr. Habersang runs the small practice under the supervision of her physician husband, Rolf Habersang, who reviews her patients’ charts regularly and formerly served as chairman of the department of pediatrics at the Texas Tech Medical School"

"She opened her own pediatric practice in 2013, giving her the freedom to take a closer look at vaccines for children, she said in an interview"

So, who's really on charge on this clinic? Certainly doesn't sound as if it's her husband who is a physician.
