JUDY WOODRUFF: Finally tonight: a message from country star Dolly Parton. Parton, who helped fund the development of the Moderna vaccine1, received her COVID-19 shot on Tuesday, getting what she called a dose of her own medicine. In a video posted to social media, she encourages us all to do the same.
DOLLY PARTON, Musician: Well, hey, it's me. I'm finally going to get my vaccine. I'm so excited. I have been waiting a while. I'm old enough to get it, and I'm smart enough to get it. So, I'm very happy that I'm going to get my Moderna shot today. And I wanted to tell everybody that you should get out there and do it, too. I even changed one of my songs to fit the occasion. It goes: Vaccine, vaccine, vaccine, vaccine, I'm begging of you, please, don't hesitate. Vaccine, vaccine, vaccine, vaccine, because once you're dead, then that's a bit too late.
DOLLY PARTON: 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. But, anyhow, I just wanted to encourage everybody, because the sooner we get to feeling better, the sooner we are going to get back to being normal. So, I just want to say to all of you cowards out there, don't be such a chicken squat2. Get out there and get your shot. Anyway, that's my message to you. So, I am going to call on my friend, Dr. Naji Abumrad, that has worked in research here at Vanderbilt. That's where I am today. And he's going to pop me in my arm, and so I'm going to call him in. I'm going to mask up first, though, because I have a pretty good distance from me and the camera. So, I'm going to try to put this on, and get that on, get my hair back around, so I look good. You know we got to look good.
DOLLY PARTON: OK, Dr. Naji, get in here and give me a shot. You think you got it?
DR. NAJI ABUMRAD, Vanderbilt University: I got it.
DOLLY PARTON: OK. That didn't hurt. Just stung a little bit, but that was from the alcohol pad, I think?
DR. NAJI ABUMRAD: Yes.
DOLLY PARTON: Right? OK. All right. Hey I did it. I did it.
JUDY WOODRUFF: One and only Dolly Parton. I'm still trying to figure out what a chicken squat is. I'm going to look it up. Thank you, Dolly.
朱迪·伍德乐夫:今晚最后:来自乡村歌手多莉·帕顿的消息。帕顿帮助资助了Moderna疫苗的研发,周二她接受了新冠疫苗的注射,她称这是一剂自己的药。她在社交媒体上发布的一段视频中鼓励我们注射疫苗。
桃莉·巴顿,歌手:嗯,嘿,是我。我终于拿到疫苗了,我很兴奋,我已经等了一会儿了。我已经够大了,也够聪明了。所以,我很高兴我今天要拍我的Moderna疫苗注射的视频。我想告诉所有人,你也应该出去注射疫苗。我甚至改了一首歌来适应这个场合。疫苗,疫苗,疫苗,疫苗,我求你了,求你了,不要犹豫。疫苗,疫苗,疫苗,疫苗,因为一旦你死了,那就太晚了。
桃莉·巴顿:我知道我是想搞笑,但我对疫苗的事是认真的。我想我们都想回归正常,不管付出什么,如果我们能回归正常,那将是一剂强心针,不是吗。但是,无论如何我只是想鼓励大家,因为我们越早感觉好起来,我们就能越早恢复正常。所以,我只想对你们这些懦夫说,别这么胆小,出去打一针吧。不管怎样,这就是我要告诉大家的。我要请我的朋友纳吉·阿布姆拉德医生,他在范德比尔特大学做过研究,就是我现在所在的地方。他要在我胳膊上打一针,所以我要叫他进来。不过我要先戴上口罩,因为我和相机之间有相当长的距离。所以我要把这个戴上,戴上口罩,把头发弄好,这样我看起来就不错了。你知道我们得看起来帅一点。
桃莉·巴顿:好的,纳吉医生,进来吧,给我打一针,打完了吗?
纳吉·阿布姆拉德医生,范德比尔特大学:好了。
桃莉·巴顿:好的,不是很疼,只是有点刺痛,不过那是酒精消毒片造成的吧?
纳吉·阿布姆拉德医生:是的。
桃莉·巴顿:是哈?嗯,好的。嘿,我打完了,我打了。
朱迪·伍德乐夫:独一无二的桃莉·巴顿,我还在想“chicken squat(胆小)”是什么意思,我得去查一下。谢谢,桃莉。
