Dolly Parton put $1 million into Vanderbilt’s early Moderna-related research, sang “Vaccine, vaccine, vaccine, vaccine” to the tune of Jolene, told “cowards” not to be a “chicken squat” — and died at 80 after a brief battle with cancer her team never named.
This episode is not a coroner’s report. It’s about the advice, the playbook, and people on a ship who now say they regret the shot.
Self-ownership is the relationship to yourself. Informed consent is the relationship to everyone else. COVIDmania smashed both: hide the downside, ban the question, mandate the product, zero manufacturer liability — then call it a “choice.”
Also on this show: the Tom Woods cruise, a note from every dinner table (regret vs blame), Fauci-world “delete this, then delete it from trash,” and the old Anheuser-Busch campus in Merrimack sold to United Therapeutics, a company specializing in rare-disease work, xenotransplantation, organ printing. Not a data center. Worth eyeballs.
If you own the body, you own the guess. The state does not live with the side effects. You do.
