As in some ways the public face of the response in Singapore, Fisher has featured in a comic series “The COVID Chronicles"
To the rest of the world, he is the face of Singapore's Covid response. Based on what I've read he was influential (behind the scenes perhaps?) in Singapore's response...and the reason why your government didn't require masks till after your flare up.
His advice seems to have been taken very seriously in other countries (not requiring masks, not closing schools).
