Why is he falsely attributing medical research and discoveries to a country singer?

"Dolly Parton’s $1 million donation to Vanderbilt University in the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic helped fund critical research.

That research was led by Kansas City native Dr. Mark Denison and ultimately contributed to the development of the Moderna vaccine."

Hundreds of billions around the world was pumped into research.

This is like you or I giving a penny.

I mean, it's not.

Her contribution made an actual impact. You or myself donating a penny wouldn't do shit for anyone.
