9. Dr Abumrad's son is the creator of the fabulous radiolab podcast

And one day the father mentioned to his son something about his friend Dolly Parton. The son said Dolly Parton isn’t your friend! It seemed completely impossible. The father is an extremely square medical scientist, how could Dolly possibly be his friend? But Dolly was there with some medical event requiring treatment and learned in talking that Dr Abumrad had grown up in a tiny house off the grid in Lebanon that sounded just like the tiny house Dolly had grown up in. In talking she learned that his background was very similar to hers and they bonded over that and became friends. Later she contributed a million dollars to the human trial for the Moderna vaccine conducted at Vanderbilt under his supervision. Since I just got my second Moderna vaccination, thank you Dolly!

24. That was a great podcast.

Dolly Parton's America. Highly recommended.
Yes, Dr. Abumrad treated her after she was in a traffic accident & they became friends.

29. Radiolab is genius work

[Totally Tunsie]

10. FINALLY...a purpose for those "cold shoulder" garments!

Previously they were just silly looking, but now they have a reason to be!

[soldierant]

17. LOL!

Yes, I immediately thought, "Oh, it must be an intra-muscular, administered in the deltoid!" (So many are, anyway, it was no surprise.)

26. +1

Dolly figured it out and is showing us the way.

11. "I'm old enough to get it - and I'm smart enough to get it."

Perfect vaccination campaign slogan - and delivered as only Dolly Parton could.

12. Not a country music fan

Not a country music fan by any stretch of the imagination but who can resist Ms Parton? She's a wonderful human and gives me just a little hope for the rest of humanity. You go Dolly!

13. Getting the

second Moderna shot tomorrow.

[BlueSky3]

19. Got the 2nd Moderna Monday

I didn’t have as strong a reaction to it as I did the first one, when I had a lot of fatigue. This time it’s been a bit of joint pain, sore arm, slight headache, a little fatigue. DH has had a low fever and fatigue. But we’re both grateful to have had the shots and look forward to March 15 when we’ll have had time for immunity to kick in.

21. Got mine today. I'm a "2 shotter" now.

So far just a repeat of the first shot side effects.

14. Thanks Dolly

I’m not a huge country music fan but, Dolly Parton is a national treasure.

[Glorfindel]

15. The total package: Beauty, brains, and TALENT...

I really love Dolly. The fact that she's my age and also from the southern Appalachians is just icing on the cake.

[Tikki]

16. Miss Dolly...the hubby and I both have received the Moderna vaccine.

I have had both shots and my husband is due for his second in a few weeks.

Dolly Parton rocks this World.

18. She's a national treasure

[TomSlick]

20. Dolly is 75 years old.

How does she possibly look so young? There is no amount of plastic surgery that can erase that many years.

[StarryNite]

22. Dolly is amazing.

I just love her. Like others have said, she's a national treasure.

[colsohlibgal]

23. She Rocks, Love Her

A really kind, good at heart lady, good for you Dolly.

[Hugin]

25. She's got her special vaccination ensemble on, I see.

I love the color.

Always, dressed to the tees for any occasion.

One of my favorite people.

[jcgoldie]

27. She's great

Seems like if you donate a million dollars to the research you'd be further up the list but I guess that would be inappropriate.
