A Mysterious Hepatitis Outbreak Among Children Is Baffling Doctors [Update]

As the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently reported, all of the patients tested negative for the hepatitis A, B, and C viruses, and also tested negative for COVID-19. They did test positive for adenovirus, a common family of at least 50 different viruses—including the common cold—that typically cause respiratory symptoms, but can also cause intestinal problems. Seven of the nine pediatric patients were suffering from vomiting or diarrhea before admission, and five of the nine tested positive for adenovirus 41—one of the strains known to affect the gut. None of the children were immunocompromised, none suffered from any other known illnesses, and all came from different parts of the state, ruling out the idea of a local infection of some kind.

In three cases, the hepatitis grew so severe that the children suffered from liver failure. Two children required liver transplants. Since then, all nine children have recovered or are recovering, but the cause of their illness remains unknown.

Alabama is not alone. In April 2022, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported that at least 169 similarly mysterious cases of hepatitis have turned up in nine countries in Europe as well as in Israel, among children ages one month to 16 years. So far, globally, one death has been reported and 17 children have required liver transplants. At least 74 of the children have tested positive for adenovirus, and 18 were diagnosed with type 41.

Cases of pediatric hepatitis have been linked to adenovirus 41 in children in the past, the WHO says, but only in those who were immunocompromised, which was not the case with any of the children in the global sample group.

It couldn’t be an adverse side effect of the vaccine because the vaccine is safe and effective.

Good thing you put the sarcasm tag at the end because we all know the vaccines are safe and effective.

Actually each additional vaccine you get is safer and more effective than the previous one.

Then there are the stories about what seems like prion or spike protein “shedding” from the vexxationated to the unvexxationated and causing who knows dhat kind of havoc. This business is total chaos.

They’re only pretending to be baffled. If they even hint that it might be somewhat tied to the vax, they’ll lose their license.

A local outbreak of hepatitis could be attributed to disease. A world wide outbreak must have a common factor. It is the damn shot.

“Then there are the stories about what seems like prion or spike protein “shedding” from the vexxationated to the unvexxationated..”

I find that to be highly unlikely.

And even if did I think it would be a good thing.

It would let you immune system see these spikes without having your own cells produce them by the billions

Interestingly the CDC has told doctors that a hep c test is recommended for all adults.

I originally thought it was because there is a recently fda approved treatment.

But?
