Dolly Parton’s halftime show at the Dallas Cowboys’ Thanksgiving game stirred controversy on social media due to her previous donation to COVID-19 vaccine research.
The 77-year-old country music legend faced criticism for her cheerleader outfit performance, with some objecting to her support for the development of the Moderna vaccine in 2020.
Despite her $1 million donation to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, accusations linking COVID-19 vaccines to health issues and death have been made by anti-vaccination groups.
Musician Brad Skistimas expressed disapproval on social media, stating Parton is no different from other pharmaceutical advocates and raising concerns about vaccine-related injuries.
