  We show that, in the present inclusive searches for the Higgs boson at the
LHC, a fermiophobic Higgs mimics the standard-model-like Higgs if its mass is
around 125 GeV. For that mass the order-of-magnitude reduction of fermiophobic
Higgs production cross sections is compensated by a corresponding increase in
the Higgs branching fraction into $\gamma\gamma$, while the $WW^*,$ $ZZ^*,$
$Z\gamma$ signal yields are predicted to be somewhat smaller. The excess seen
in the ATLAS and CMS fermiophobic Higgs boson searches in $\gamma\gamma$
channel, including the exclusive vector-boson-fusion analysis, suggests that
the LHC sees a fermiophobic instead of a standard-model-like Higgs boson. If
the Higgs boson turns out to be fermiophobic, many of our present ideas of new
physics should be revised.
