The gift that keeps on giving, the gift of a vaccine and hope! An upper cut to the ugly virus that is COVID-19! The hope that nobody else has to die from coronavirus! Dolly invested in the great minds and researchers at Vandy and put her money and faith into these wonderful men and women to help save the world!
Back in April, Dolly Parton donated a million dollars to coronavirus research. Here we are seven months later finding out she may have helped save us all. Imagine if all celebrities that could afford a million dollars would do that…money would not be an issue for researchers and the sky would be the limit….limitless!
The money helped Moderna develop a vaccine that’s been almost 95% effective in clinical trials. You can even find her name in the acknowledgments of the New England Journal of Medicine article.
Fact-checking this was worth it just to see @DollyParton in the acknowledgments of a @NEJM article. And I thought I couldn’t love her more. https://t.co/S3njHEFcGT pic.twitter.com/WcrFIrHp67

She was asked about it yesterday on the “Today Show”.
I think we can all learn from Dolly! She invested in the great minds at Vandy and the hope that they could all save us from COVID!
