People are able to sense that there\u2019s a lot of noise and their ears are trying to find the signal and Tony is the signal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In 2020, an internet campaign was launched to get People Magazine to recognize Fauci as \u201cthe sexiest man alive.\u201d The title was ultimately awarded to Actor Michael B. Jordan, but Fauci was named to People\u2019s \u201c2020 People of the Year\u201d list.<\/p>\n<p>The Guardian\u2019s post and the upcoming documentary is the latest in a series of fawning profiles Fauci has received since he rose to national prominence last year with the outbreak of COVID-19. Critics have accused Fauci of using his high-profile position in the federal response to COVID-19 to chase the limelight.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, Fauci went on a media spree appearing for interviews on numerous cable shows, podcasts, networks, as well as in many publications.
