The gift that keeps on giving!  The gift of a vaccine and hope!  An upper cut to the ugly virus, COVID-19!  The hope that nobody else has to die from coronavirus!

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.

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!
