Aspects of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s career are prominently displayed at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History, the news coming as he declined to answer questions during a congressional hearing about the Chinese coronavirus pandemic.
The former leader of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) is featured in the museum’s “Entertainment Nation” exhibit, highlighting how the the mask-wearing doctor threw the first pitch for Major League Baseball in 2020 while there were no fans in the stands, Fox News reported Thursday.
The museum’s placard described Fauci in heroic terms.
“Amidst a cacophony of misinformation and denial, advice from Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s leading epidemiologist, urged leagues to make decisions about resuming play ‘based on scientific evidence and public health judgment.’ When baseball became the first league to retake the field, Fauci threw the ceremonial opening pitch — wearing a facemask in a stadium empty of fans,” it read.
