1/6 The Moderna vaccine announcement is revolutionary; not only does it apparently have nearly 5% more efficacy than the Pfizer one, but it is FAR more stable, and thus easier to ship and store.
6/6 Dolly Parton found the time to drop a Christmas album, make a Christmas special, and, most amazingly of all, donate $1,000,000 to the Vanderbilt University Medical Center for COVID-19 research that was the foundation of the Moderna vaccine.
Amazing.

My wife's mother was a lifelong warrior for women's rights. The head of her county's YWCA for 35 years and one of 9 women to set their current mission statement.
