Dolly Parton helped fund the Covid 19 vaccine

Words: Katie Gartland

It follows news that Dolly donated 3000 books to children in Cork.

Dolly Parton donated $1 million to research for the newest Covid 19 vaccine. It was announced yesterday that Moderna’s late stage vaccination trials were proving to be 95% effective.

It has since come out that Dolly had donated $1 million to Vanderbilt for vaccine research. Vanderbilt and Moderna had been working together to find a vaccine.

Dolly Parton is also donating 3,000 books to the children of Cork through her Dolly Parton Imagination Library Scheme.

Thank god for Dolly, that woman is an angel.

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
