Dr. Anthony Fauci appeared at the 24th Annual Webby Awards, hosted by Patton Oswalt, to present the "Person of the Year" award to Avi Schiffman for his COVID-19 tracking website. The appearance is criticized as an unnecessary foray into Hollywood celebrity culture for a public health official. Fauci is described by the hosts as a "shill for Big Pharma" who has become a wealthy figurehead during the pandemic.
