Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, was announced on Monday as one of the winners of the US$1 million Dan David Prize for "defending science" and advocating for COVID-19 vaccines.
The Israel-based Dan David Foundation said that Fauci had earned the recognition over a lifetime of leadership on HIV research and AIDS relief, as well as his advocacy for the vaccines against COVID-19.
