The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a nationwide alert on Thursday warning medical personnel to be on the lookout for dangerous hepatitis symptoms in children following unexplained outbreaks in the United States and the United Kingdom that have, in some cases, resulted in liver transplants.

Dozens of young children have come down with severe liver inflammation. Mysteriously, they did not have hepatitis A, B, or C which usually causes it. Health professionals seem to be at a loss as the children do not reportedly have causative links in connection to the ailment.

The CDC is working with others in Europe trying to figure out what is going on and exactly what is the cause of the infections. They have asked doctors to report any potential cases to their state and local health departments as they fear they will spread.

A number of the children in Europe have one thing in common… a cold virus known as an adenovirus. But not all those who have contracted hepatitis have the virus.

Some doctors in the UK believe that weakened immune systems resulting from being locked down during the pandemic may be at the heart of the matter, according to the Daily Mail. But, it is unclear if there is any evidence supporting this theory.

A team led by Public Health Scotland epidemiologist Dr, Kimberly Marsh wrote in the journal Eurosurveillance that more children could be “immunologically naive” to the adenovirus strains because of pandemic restrictions.

“The leading hypotheses centre around adenovirus — either a new variant with a distinct clinical syndrome or a routinely circulating variant that is more severely impacting younger children who are immunologically naive. The latter scenario may be the result of restricted social mixing during the pandemic,” they contended.

So far, the outbreak in the US is comprised of nine cases in Alabama. Health officials find that puzzling since lockdowns were reportedly not as stringent there. Children affected so far are between ages one and six. They came down with the disease between Oct. 2021 and Feb. 2022 and were diagnosed with significant liver injury, including acute liver failure. All were previously healthy and tested positive for adenovirus. Lab tests discovered that some of these children were infected with adenovirus type 41, which can cause acute infection of the digestive system. Two required liver transplants but no deaths have been reported.

UK health authorities announced on Thursday that they have identified a stunning 108 cases of pediatric hepatitis. Some cases were so severe that the children had to undergo liver transplants to save their lives as well.

Other cases have now popped up in Denmark, Ireland, the Netherlands, and Spain, according to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control.

Doctors are being advised to test for adenovirus. Symptoms of hepatitis include fever, fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, dark urine, light-colored stools, joint pain, and jaundice.

Scotland was the first to sound the alarm over the strange hepatitis cases in children on April 6. That country has had 14 cases identified, according to Reuters.

Researchers are now asserting that an adenovirus infection may be the culprit “in concert” with another virus. Seventy-seven percent of the children in the UK reportedly tested positive for adenovirus, Public Health Scotland director Jim McMenamin told Reuters. They are also looking at toxin exposure, COVID, or a novel pathogen, either in tandem with adenovirus infection, or alone.

“This is still a very low number of cases, but they are children, that is the main concern, and the other thing is the severity,” Maria Buti, a hepatology professor from Barcelona and chair of the European Association of the Study of the Liver’s public health committee, also told Reuters.

So far, none of the infections have been tied to the COVID vaccine or attributed to mask-wearing.

  1. The CDC is run by an INCOMPETENT “professor” who is complicite in FORCING this PHONY “vaccine” on the general public KNOWING it’s a kill shot !

  2. Could this liver disease be caused or linked to the coronavirus vaccines that are encouraged to be given to children, or even some form of transmission from parents who have had the “jab”? Like the kids breathing air somehow contaminated by the parents exhaling in the home?

    1. If it is, you will never know about it. Did you know 6.8% of vaxxed suffered from irreversible damage and 1.3% died from the jab. That was in a report released by CDC last month, yet I haven’t heard any news media covering it.

      1. THAT is just a “report” from the CDC. The ACTUAL numbers are FAR GREATER than what’s being reported.

  3. Keeping people away from each other, weakens immune systems. Our immune systems require others trying to make us sick to maintain antibody protection. Children are worse because they are still developing and need the stimulation of sick people around them to grow a healthy immune system There is another possibility, that Fauci’s friends in China have developed another disease, unfortunately this can no longer be ruled out until a cause is definitely found. FJB

    1. I wouldn’t put it past the globalist, population control freaks to release this virus as too many parents are wise enough to refuse the vax for their children.

  4. Expect a lot more examples of this happening across our nation and our planet. All of a sudden and out of `nowhere. Seems that the dems were wanting to turn our nation into a global pariah and have been very affective.

  5. We all know what’s causing it! Children should not have been vaccinated OR masked!

  6. You bet they know what’s causing it ,it’s the fake vaccine,not once in the article did they even mention it,which gives it away to anyone with a brain,,,,,,FJB,,,,,
    sympl1

  7. And…they are “investigating” everything under the sun but the vaccines, eh?
    Why not look at how many of these kids were jabbed and get to the heart of the matter?

    1. They aren’t telling the public the real reason, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they weren’t trying to work up something else to pin it on.

  8. People, we can’t blame it on the vaccine, because they just said that NONE of the children had been vaccinated. I hope they do find the cause and soon !

    1. They didn’t say that this was CAUSED by the vaccine, the said IT HASN’T BEEN TIED to the vaccine. That doesn’t at all mean it isn’t caused by it. It just means they refuse to SAY it was caused by it! Typical “cover your azz” bull-pucky!

  9. They won’t say it. There is one thing possibly in common.COVID VACCINES! There, I said it. Want to solve the mystery? Find the one thing these kids have in common.

  10. “So far, none of the infections have been tied to the COVID vaccine or attributed to mask-wearing.”

    Emphasis on the “So far…”

    1. The CDC lied to us about COVID and the so called “vaccines”. They have no clue about these developing side effects. We were warned about the disruption of the bodies ability to fight off diseases and now they are starting to pop up. There’s a reason most drugs go thru a 5- 10 year testing phase!

  11. Oh CRAP! I have to wonder if this is the result of the covid shot shedding. They do that. Check to see if parents or ANYONE close to these kids was recently “vaccinated”.

    1. Yup. First thing that popped into my head. Gotta be some kind of side effects to giving kids a vaccine that 99.9999999% of them don’t need.
