The October 2021 edition shares how Latter-day Saint Charities, the humanitarian arm of the Church, helped quell the spread of COVID-19 with a $20 million donation to support UNICEF’s role in the Access to COVID-19 Tools (ACT) Accelerator.

Good for the Church to contribute to this UNICEF effort, but does it seem like they are making an overstatement?

Some serious delusions of grandeur in that headline

When placed on the scales of anti-mask/vax members rushing to return to the way things were, does the $20 million donation make the church a net queller or net contributor of covid?

Basically, just like all church "claims," I highly doubt there is any data/evidence so support any quelling.

They're mormonizing the word. You thought "quell" means quell, but it really means "quell."
