Health officials are looking into unexplained hepatitis cases in children in the US and Europe.
According to The BBC:
Cases of hepatitis, or liver inflammation, have been reported in Denmark, Ireland, the Netherlands, Spain and the US, health officials say.
Last week UK health authorities said they had detected higher than usual cases of the infection among children.
The cause of the infections is not yet known.
The European Centre for Disease Control (ECDC) did not specify how many cases have been found in the four European countries in total.
But the World Health Organization (WHO) said less than five had been found in Ireland, and three had been found in Spain. It added that the detection of more cases in the coming days was likely.
Investigations into the cause of the infections are ongoing in all of the European countries where cases have been reported, said the ECDC.
In the US, Alabama’s public health department said nine cases have been found in children aged one to six years old, with two needing liver transplants.
Investigations into similar cases in other states are taking place, it added.
The UK is where the highest number of cases has been reported – with a total of 74 recorded so far.
Last week the UK Health Security Agency said the usual viruses that cause infectious hepatitis (hepatitis A to E) have not been detected among the cases in the UK.
As a result, investigators are looking at other possible causes, and believe that the common adenovirus could be the cause.
Adenoviruses are a family of viruses that usually cause a range of mild illnesses such as colds, vomiting and diarrhoea.
It did however say that other possible causes of the infection are also being investigated, and it had not ruled out Covid-19. It added that there is no apparent link with Covid-19 vaccines.
The UK Health Security Agency (deliciously dystopian name) says that the usual viruses that cause hepatitis are not present in the cases, but that there is no apparent link to the Covid jabs.
How can they possibly know that, absent a thorough investigation?
The answer is simple. Either they don’t know, or they do know but they’ve been told to say that the jabs are not responsible.
Share this far and wide.
