The sale of the figurines will help benefit an organization seeking to rapidly produce personal protective equipment for healthcare workers facing patients with COVID-19.
The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame Museum has recently released two collectible figurines of Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases who is also a prominent member of President Donald Trump's coronavirus task force.
In April, the museum—which is located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin—released its first Dr. Fauci figurine. Although the museum made 42,020 copies of the figure, it quickly sold out becoming the best-selling bobblehead in the museum's history. The museum is now selling two new Fauci figurines on pre-order: one $25 figurine shows him smiling and wearing either a red- or blue-tie, and a second $30 figurine shows him making a facepalm gesture, something he appeared to do at an early White House coronavirus briefing after Republican President Donald Trump mentioned"the Deep State Department"—Fauci claimed he was only trying to discreetly eat a throat lozenge. Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, discusses the Zika virus during remarks before the Economic Club of Washington January 29, 2016 in Washington, DC.The facepalm Fauci figurine will have 2,020 copies available for purchase. The museum will donate $5 from the purchase of every seven-inch tall Fauci figurine to the American Hospital Association's"Protect the Heroes Campaign" to support the 100 Million Mask Challenge, a campaign to rapidly produce personal protective equipment on a large scale for U.S. health care workers on the front lines of the ongoing coronavirus epidemic. The original Dr. Fauci Bobblehead raised over $200,000 towards that effort. The museum's additional sales of figurines depicting Coronavirus Task Force co-member Dr. Deborah Birx, former Director of the Ohio Department of Health Dr. Amy Acton, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot and the Essential Hero series raised $70,000 for the effort as well.
