Musician Dolly Parton received her first dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine Tuesday and celebrated the occasion by advocating for others to do the same.
To that end, 75-year-old Parton rewrote some of the lyrics to her beloved song “Jolene.” In a video posted to Twitter, she sings, “Vaccine, vaccine, vaccine, vaccine. I’m begging of you please don’t hesitate. Vaccine, vaccine, vaccine, vaccine. ‘Cause once you’re dead that’s a bit too late.”
Parton goes on to laugh at herself before turning serious: “I know I’m trying to be funny now but I’m dead serious about the vaccine. I think we all want to get back to normal, whatever that is. And that would be a great shot in the arm, wouldn’t it, if we could get back to that.”
“I just want to say to all you cowards out there, don’t be such a chicken squat, get out there and get your shot,” she said.
Parton goes on to don her mask and receive the vaccine on-camera.
“I’ve been waiting since December, I’ve been in-line,” Parton said.

Yes... The people racing to get a brand new vaccine for a virus that's about as harmful as the flu are the cowards, not the ones who think the virus will kill them.

The flu is pretty harmful in Dolly's demographic though.

Maybe, Jolene is huge in karaoke amongst millennials and zoomers though.

Ah yes calling people cowards. Just like in the White Feather Campaigns.

Except of course that she is challenging you to do something she herself has done. Other than that exactly the same.
