Notorious Covid czar Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, was greeted at T-Mobile Park in Seattle on Tuesday by protestors and jeers before the Mariners faced off against the New York Yankees.

Earlier in the day, Fauci received The Hutch Award from The Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center. The award was created in 1965 in honor of Fred Hutchinson, a former MLB pitcher, and manager who died from lung cancer. The award is typically given annually to an active MLB player who "best exemplifies the fighting spirit and competitive desire" of Hutchinson.

Fauci is only the second non-player to receive the award. The first was former President Jimmy Carter. Fauci was hosted by colleague, a long-time friend, and former President of the Fred Hutch, Dr. Larry Corey. During a discussion at the center, Fauci said regarding Covid, "We are expecting another surge in the fall."

Last week it was revealed by The Post Millennial that in order to apply for a job at world-renowned Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, applicants must write a diversity statement that will then be factored into the hiring process.

Protestors, including some from the group March for Freedom Washington, assembled outside of the home plate entrance to the stadium waving Trump flags and handed out flyers encouraging fans to "boo" Fauci during the ceremony.

Though the protest was peaceful, one fan ripped one of the protesters’ banners.

The protest ended peacefully when the participants went inside the stadium to wait for Fauci, a life-long Yankees fan, to be announced to throw out the first pitch.

The Mariners played a video tribute to Fauci before he threw out the ceremonial first pitch after the National Anthem.

Fauci’s presence drew a mixed reaction from the Seattle crowd with boos, jeers and some cheers.

Fauci has clearly been practicing since his embarrassing attempt to throw out the inaugural first pitch of the 2020 MLB season which completely missed its mark. Fauci easily lobbed the ball to Mariner’s manager Scott Servais who afterwards had the doctor sign his mask.

A third of the way through the game, Fauci was once again announced and shown on the scoreboard, this time eliciting an even stronger reaction.

The Mariners went on to defeat the Yankees 1-0 in 13 innings.
