And be careful before attributing this to COVID lockdowns. In the US, at least, there does not actually appear to have been any meaningful increase in hepatitis in young children:

The UK could be different for any number of reasons, but, at least in the actual paper and in the US, this does not appear to be COVID-related, even indirectly.
- upupandup 4y agoI'm just concerned that we are not having the debates we used to. They've already coined the term "immunity debt" and Twitter accounts belonging to researchers who are raising alarms about jumping to early conclusions attributing this to lockdowns are curiously enough being brigaded. I'm not saying one thing or the other, I just want to get a nuanced view that is backed by data but hard to do that when those links are getting removed from the platform. I'm just puzzled as to why this is happening
