Dr. Fauci red tie bobblehead
"After releasing the first bobblehead of Dr. Fauci, we received a lot of requests for a facepalm
version, and when the original bobblehead sold out, we wanted to give a few options for the
many people out there just finding out that a Dr. Fauci bobblehead exists," said National
Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar. "We look forward to
raising more funds and awareness for the Protect the Heroes Campaign during these
unprecedented times."
Fauci, 79, is the executive director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. A
central figure on global health issues like HIV/AIDS, Ebola and Zika, Fauci has been the medical
expert at the forefront of the U.S. battle against coronavirus.
The "facepalm" theme of the one new bobblehead arises from a press briefing in March in
which Fauci appeared to chuckle and cover his face with his hand in reference to something
President Donald Trump said. Fauci said he was only covering his face because a lozenge was
stuck in his throat, but the image went viral.
