Dolly Parton fans are jokingly crediting her with curing the coronavirus after she donated $1 million to research that ultimately led to Moderna’s recently announced vaccine. In April, Parton shared that she donated money to research being done at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn. “My longtime friend Dr. Naji Abumrad, who’s been involved in research at Vanderbilt for many years, informed me that they were making some exciting advancements toward that research of the coronavirus for a cure,” she wrote on Instagram at the time.
