dolly parton and mRNA work

Dolly Parton has a close relationship with Dr. Naji Abumrad of the Vanderbilt Medical Center and Jad Abumrad's father.  Early in the pandemic she asked him for suggestions and settled on a $1 million donation to the mRNA work they were doing, which was tied into the Moderna vaccine work.  She was mentioned in the credits.
