If case you’re wondering about the dubious quality of the CDC report claiming the pediatric liver hepatitis weren’t COVID related… I give you this simple meme (HT @lisa_iannattone).
For more scientific details, read the post below 👇
2) the CDC didn’t even check for recent COVID — and didn’t further check the livers for coronavirus either. It’s “trash” says Dr @lisa_iannattone
3) the CDC also seemed to have pre made up their mind to hunt for adenovirus lovers as a search criteria for their liver hepatitis study. They excluded the rest of the non adenovirus livers???
4) meanwhile in Israel which has centralized healthcare databases to search for hepatitis causes… 11 of 12 kids with unusual hepatitis has COVID
5) COVID and liver? So silly… oh wait, what’s this???

6) COVID affects the liver??? You don’t say! Show me a top tier journal… oh what’s this…
nature.com/articles/s4225…
7) to be clear, there’s many working hypotheses on what is causing the worldwide uptick in pediatric liver problems. #SARSCoV2 is one of many working ideas. But it’s definitely a top contender.
8) And #SARSCoV2 has been found at rates 2-3x more common than expected among the new strange kids liver hepatitis cases.
9) Let this Anakin and Padme meme drill it home how crazy the new CDC paper was.
10) And again, how was the CDC’s hepatitis study actually done??? This is NOT normal. You’re NOT supposed to cherry pick like this when selecting cases. I don’t know what the heck the CDC staffers let this trash pass as science.
11) this is dark. Not sure if I’m ready to call it yet, but just leaving this here. It could just be sloppiness of overworked CDC research staff.
12) HOW COULD WE HAVE POSSIBLY HAVE KNOWN?!?! What’s the chance a novel coronavirus can cause liver hepatitis??? Oh wait… what is this shit from 2004??? Is history trying to haunt and troll us for our arrogance? Maybe. 👇

13) literally the first effing sentence in the article from 2004!!! Like jeezzz… are we that arrogant to dismiss the sum of human knowledge and history???

14) More, give me more…. “SARS-CoV-2 infection of the liver directly contributes to hepatic impairment in patients with COVID-19”.

15) Really detailed thread 🧵 on the new strange liver hepatitis and why is it very **UNLIKELY** to be adenovirus, by a gastroenterologist specialist (live disease falls under GI)… experts are really worried about this. Many GI experts are expecting COVID to be the culprit.👇
16) “It is a farce that we are being led to believe this pandemic has nothing to do with pediatric liver failure cases. The adenovirus case is so weak it’s laughable.” Says Dr @farid__jalali, gastroenterologist.
17) Seems France 🇫🇷 is also now joining the COVID-coverup game with the new liver hepatitis cases. They are pre-excluding anyone with #SARSCoV2 from their pediatric hepatitis outbreak definition.
