This link should at least be investigated. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34225251/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34225251/ "We hope that our report does not deter COVID vaccination drives. However, we also hope to raise awareness of its potential side effects and the increased role of pharmacovigilance in guiding treatment."

If that's the case it would appear to be unrelated to this as all the children in the UK experiencing it aren't vaccinated. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/increase-in-hepatitis-liver-inflammation-cases-in-children-under-investigation https://www.gov.uk/government/news/increase-in-hepatitis-liv... Important quote: "There is no link to the COVID-19 vaccine. None of the currently confirmed cases in the UK has been vaccinated."

If we're going to throw out baseless accusations, then why not the Ferrero candy factory that was ordered closed after failing to disclose a salmonella outbreak? https://nypost.com/2022/04/08/candy-factory-that-makes-kinder-chocolate-eggs-closed-over-salmonella-outbreak/ https://nypost.com/2022/04/08/candy-factory-that-makes-kinde... Same countries affected: "Spain, Britain, Ireland and United States" for the Ferrero case, and [UK, Ireland,] "Spain, Denmark and the Netherlands, as well as the United States" for the hepatitis cases. (edit: link that explicitly mentions the initial detection of salmonella in december: https://www.foodsafetynews.com/2022/04/kinder-chocolate-recall-hits-u-s-as-belgian-officials-close-plant-linked-to-outbreak/ https://www.foodsafetynews.com/2022/04/kinder-chocolate-reca...)

  > If we're going to throw out baseless accusations How is what he posted a baseless accusation? There's quite literally a base to it: a study published by the NIH. Did they edit their comment?

    It is baseless considering the hepatitis cases, in the original submission, are affecting _children_ under 5, for whom there is absolutely no covid vacination programmes.

      I would say that's a correction needed for their understanding of the context, more than a baseless accusation.

      This article never says 5 years old children, what it says is: "Scottish health authorities had initially reported 10 cases of acute hepatitis in children aged under 10 --on 5 April--, the origin of which was not established". "--" are mine. Some of those children weren't vaccinated, most had less than 5 years old but not all. At least in Spain some were aged enough to receive a vaccine. As it seems that some adults had liver problems after being vaccinated, and that some of the cases could be still undiscovered, the question is valid and the hypothesis deserve further discussion. Maybe are we missing some additional info that does not appear here?
