All the time.

One thing I learned when I was in school was that there was those who were naturally talented, those who like to spin around in their chairs talking gossip and those few who like to hit the books. So yeah people are going to get hurt because you really don't know how much they put into earning that title. There should be a data base that lets you know how many times a person had to test before they finally got a license. I wasn't very popular because I was one who hit the books. Mainly because I knew I was never going to work for a year in a salon as required before opening my own shop, I was just going to wait a year and do so I knew I had to do my best to learn from the books more so than from experience. I think I was more popular afterward when I had some of them calling me asking me questions they missed on their exams. When I went to electrology school, which doesn't have a time requirement to spend working for someone else, they told me not only did I pass my state exams with the highest score in the history of the school but I did the course in record breaking time. Part of that was having to travel to the other side the state to go to school. I stayed in motel/hotel rooms so I booked them a week at a time, I didn't take up offers to stay at local students homes, go to the bars, sight seeing, etc., I just wanted to get it done so I stayed in the rooms I rented studying. Being at school was interesting enough for me because they had a lot of students whose families came from other countries, we'd hold pot lucks and share different ethic foods which was way cooler than going to see a polar bear at the zoo or sit around drinking beers in a bar.

In our current environment it's pretty obvious those who will trade integrity for profit. We knew that of course considering those who have been caught as pill peddling doctors but now we can see the extreme some will go through for name recognition and money despite they know they are on the wrong side of science. How would we ever know who to trust if we never had people who went the extra mile for their degrees, those same degrees and licenses earned them prestige and recognition above the others. Take for instance Walensky, she has a two year degree in biology, (I am not one hundred that's what her degree is but it is only two years whatever it was), and a course she took in organizing medial professional conferences. That's the only way we have to gage her against people like Peter Mccullough, who has several degrees, was so accomplished he didn't have to have his publications reviewed by a board before publication, he could publish in journals without those reviews. This is how we tell the differences from the snake oil salesman.
