They're classed as 'experts' and members of 'the elite'. For some reason the idea of other people being an authority on a subject is seen as undemocratic and arrogant. Look at vaccines, global warming, warnings over sugar etc. The view of a Doctor on vaccines is treated just as worthy as the view on vaccines from someone who studied English at Oxford. It's how Melanie Phillips took on the entire medical profession over vaccines simply by dismissing them all as elites, she knew better.
