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.

“The United Kingdom Health Security Agency is looking into the possibility that affected children might have had COVID-19 in the past and that that affected their immune system in some way, making them more susceptible to hepatitis.”

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

...But every sheeple in the West will believe their results of their “looking into”

have you seen this?

worth a read. postulates the adenovirus (attenuated) from the relevant vaccines managed to pick up a sequence needed to de-attenuate in vivo. so now you have a GI virus that also builds spikes.
