I will always love Dolly. Class act.

Dolly told a great anecdote about how Elvis wanted to record the song. Colonel Tom Parked insisted that they would get 50% of the publishing. She said “No” and it has been one of her biggest earning songs

Figures the "Memphis Mafia" would try to take advantage of a woman.

Got to love Dolly... She has navigated so much, and it seems like she's never put a foot wrong, she always comes out on the right end of things - so impressive 💛

I’m not a huge C&W fan. But, having said that I can’t stress enough the deep respect I have for Dolly Parton. She has been around all my life and made a name for herself ages ago. In all that time I have NEVER heard an unkind word about her. Quite the contrary, nothing but glowing compliments anytime her name is mentioned.

I don’t know too many things for sure, but I’m positive God must love Dolly more than most of us.

Because science is real, whether or not it you believe in it.

🙄😂 I believe in science! I don’t believe in giving millions to a company that had no track record of success in their field, at the time. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Ultimately, it was a good investment, so it was absolutely the right decision - not quite sure why anybody would object to that 🤔

😂 except for the fact that they didn’t do what they were supposed to do! Those vaccines didn’t stop the spread.

Yeah, they did, dude. It would've been even worse (think Black Death or Spanish Flu) without them.

🤔 Where are you getting your information? It’s well documented that the vaccines did not prevent transmission. It was a scam & it facilitated the biggest upward transfer of wealth we have ever seen. Also, the planet is overpopulated… so, I’m all for less humans!

It was a global pandemic, or had you forgotten that? And the technology had been invented much earlier. In fact the original mRNA studies were done in the early 1990s. What’s the impediment to “success” in the pharmaceutical industry? PROFIT. A “traditional” vaccine would have taken 2x longer to roll out. Moderna met the moment.

wiki: The company's commercial products are the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, marketed as Spikevax and a respiratory syncytial virus vaccine, marketed as Mresvia.

In 2020, when they were given that money, they had yet to bring an FDA approved drug to market.
