Dolly Parton, who helped fund the Moderna vaccine, gets a ‘dose of her own medicine.’ (Published 2021)
The country music star broke into song before she was inoculated, and urged her fans to “get out there and get your shot.”

BREAKING: Federal judge rejects DOJ's effort to subpoena the names and medical records of children who have received gender-affirming medical care from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA
IN RE: SUBPOENA NO. 25-1431-014
: MISCELLANEOUS ACTION
:
: NO. 25-39
MEMORANDUM
KEARNEY,J.
November 21, 2025
Our elected Congresspersons granted the Department of Justice limited authority in 1996
to investigate federal health care offenses involving the labeling and distribution of prescription
drugs. The Department of Justice is now investigating the labeling and distribution of prescribed
clinically authorized puberty blockers and hormone therapy. It subpoenaed fifteen categories of
records from The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia including billing and insurance records,
communications with manufacturers and sales representatives, and the names and complete
medical and psychological records of children receiving gender-affirming care. The Hospital
agrees to produce most of the requested materials. But it objects to producing the identities of its
child patients and their families along with their confidential medical files. Its objection requires
we study two questions: whether Congress authorized a subpoena for the children's confidential medical records, and, if so, whether the children's privacy interests outweigh the Department of
Justice's need for these confidential medical records under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
We find the answer to both questions is "no." We strike the three requests for these child-
identifying and treatment and disclosure records as beyond the authority granted by Congress. We
also find, even if this private information could be relevant, the heightened privacy interests of children and their families substantially outweighs the Department's need to know the children's
names, addresses, and treatment along with disclosures for gender-affirming care at The Children's
Hospital of Philadelphia.
