Because the press continues the narrative of Dolly's "short illness," I decided to ask a simple question of Perplexity, knowing the CV has been heavily associated with Turbo Cancer. I asked as a fan of Country & Western music....

Did Dolly Parton promote the vaccine? Covid Vax, of course?

Yes. Dolly Parton publicly promoted the COVID-19 vaccine, especially in early 2021.

She received the Moderna vaccine at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in March 2021.

She posted a video encouraging people to get vaccinated and sang a parody of “Jolene”: “Vaccine, vaccine, vaccine… I’m begging of you, please don’t hesitate.” She added that she was “dead serious about the vaccine.”

She also urged people to “get out there and get your shot.”

Separately, she donated $1 million to Vanderbilt COVID-19 research in 2020. Some of that funding supported research connected to Moderna’s vaccine, though it would be more precise to say she helped fund related early research, not that she personally developed or directly paid for the entire vaccine.

So the short answer is: yes—she both promoted vaccination and received the Moderna shot herself.

The Stanford Binet IQ Test has been replaced by a simple Yes/No version: Did you refuse the covid shots or not? 😳
