The video is a little ironic, as Holland believes the prayers of Mormon kids around the planet somehow kept him alive once he was stricken with COVID. I think it’s clear now that his health continues to deteriorate that his disease is taking the natural course that it does in someone with obesity, advanced age, and co-morbidities.Elder Jeffrey R. Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles is currently hospitalized for observation and treatment of ongoing health complications. Elder Holland is grateful for the many prayers offered in his behalf in recent weeks for his health and during this time of mourning. He sincerely appreciates the well-wishes and kindnesses shown by friends and members of the Church who know and care for him and his family.
It was probably a missed opportunity to emphasize the modern miracles of medicine, not prayers, in keeping someone alive through such a deadly infection. If only for a few months before the damage finally takes it’s toll. The brethren’s pro-vaccine messages were extremely prudent during the pandemic but now that the waves have passed they are back to business as usual. Trying to gin up miracles where none exist.
Hopefully he is kept comfortable while in hospital. The complications of COVID and kidney failure are awful and to see the man have such a dramatic turn for the worse after testing positive in April of this year is a good reminder that we should all stay on top of our health.
