A bobblehead of Dr. Deborah Birx, the coronavirus response coordinator for the White House task force, went on pre-sale Wednesday with a portion of proceeds to benefit medical workers, the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum announced."Bobbleheads are the ultimate honor, and we think Dr. Birx deserves it given what she has done and continues to do for our country and the world in the battle against COVID-19, National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar said in a statement.
Five dollars from each $25 sale of the Birx bobblehead will be donated to the American Hospital Associations Protect The Heroes Campaign to support the 100 Million Mask Challenge, an initiative to secure personal protective equipment (PPE) for hospitals across the country.
The bobblehead shows the doctor wearing one of her signature scarves, which have developed a fan following throughout the course of daily White House briefings. An Instagram account in her honor has over 17,000 followers.
