Children’s Hepatitis Outbreak Culprit Found as Scientists Identify Two Viruses and Blame Lockdown for Weakening Immune Systems
The mysterious hepatitis outbreak affecting children across the world appears to be caused by two simultaneous viral infections to which children are more susceptible because lockdowns left them with weakened immune systems. MailOnline has more.
Scientists today pinpointed a usually-harmless virus as being the main culprit for the unusual liver illness, which has sickened 200 youngsters in the U.K. and left a dozen needing transplants.
Two separate studies concluded that adeno-associated virus 2 (AAV2) seems to play a “significant role”. The virus, which does not normally cause any illness, infects most Britons by the age of 10.
But AAV2 cannot replicate without a ‘helper’ pathogen, such as an adenovirus – which usually just causes cold-like symptoms. Adenoviruses surged in line with the hepatitis cluster, which experts believe is because children had weaker immunity upon their return to pre-pandemic levels of mixing.
Therefore, a U.K. Health Security Agency-backed team of academics believe dual infection with these two viruses may offer the best explanation for the outbreak.
Until now, scientists have been flummoxed as to the root cause of the illness, with theories blaming Covid itself or even a mutation in an adenovirus strain.
Overall, the two studies, which looked at dozens of children across the U.K., found that 96% of children with unexplained hepatitis had “high levels” of AAV2. For comparison, just 4% of healthy youngsters tested positive for AAV2 and at much lower levels.
Dr. Antonia Ho, lead author for one of the studies, said Covid lockdowns and restrictions led to “much reduced circulation of seasonal viruses”. An “equilibrium” needs to be re-established now that youngsters are mixing in pre-pandemic ways, which has led to “different types of circulation” of viruses, she said…
In a separate analysis, the researchers examined the genetics of the patients with hepatitis. They detected that nearly nine in 10 youngsters with hepatitis (89%) had [an uncommon variant of] the Human Leukocyte Antigen gene, compared to less than two in 10 (16%) in the general population. This finding may offer another part of the answer as to why some children have become seriously unwell, the team said.
Yet more innocent victims of the unnecessary and ineffective lockdowns.

These findings will be the first of many. In the coming years, all directly attributable to the “poisoning years” as the last couple of years will come to be known.
The slow death of humanity.
Congratulations Bozo.
Odds for Peking Piffle ever acknowledging his culpability?
Thanks kids, for protecting granny (for the remaining few years she had left anyway). Now live the rest of your life on immunosuppressant drugs to help keep your transplanted liver from rejecting.
FFS. This was totally warned about! (not hepatitis specifically, but immune ramifications). I am beyond angry.
Yes indeed, this and every other harmful effect of the lockdowns and mass vaxxing, predicted on this site and places like it from March 2020 onwards. We were, and continue to be, vilified as dangerous granny-killers and crackpots. Still waiting for my covidtard ex-friends, family and colleagues to apologise.
Surely you realize admissions of wrong doing, apologies or remorse are not part of the covidtard’s handbook. You’ll be lucky to get an indifferent shrug of the shoulders.
During the second and third lockdowns, myself and my two young boys “accidentally” bumped into friends with their children on dog walks or “randomly” at the park. And I actively encouraged friends to send their kids over for a play. I was well aware of developing immune systems in 8-10 year old children.
I got severely criticized for these offers by some, but I’m damn glad I did it and a couple of parents took me up on the offer regularly. Like you Sophie, I’m beyond angry also – knowing that there’s a very good chance that these villainous, treacherous b*stards will “get away with it” (whatever that means).
And do the covid-lockdown fanatics give a shit? No.
And do the vaccine fanatics give a shit about what’s almost certainly coming down the line for mrna vaccinated children? No.
Our society is sick, sick, sick, and it isn’t with covid.
PS. Just heard about another almost certain serious vaccine injury. Fit young person who had absolutely no reason whatsoever to take the poison.
Makes you want to cry. And when done with crying get retribution.
How can they be 100% sure that the ‘vaccines’ have not caused the problem? Viral shedding means that you don’t necessarily have to be vaccinated for others to inherit a lovely present from the vaccinated. I honestly don’t know the answer to this, but is there anyone with adequate medical knowledge that does?
How can they be 100% sure that the ‘vaccines’ have not caused the problem?
Their oversized pay packets will have given them all the certainty that they will ever need.
A frightening future, where we are going to be poisoned and medicated, whether we like it or not (and I suppose they will find ways of making living off grid even more vanishingly rare).
I certainly don’t have the medical knowledge, but have read several articles saying that the vaccine is indeed responsible for this problem. Read The Expose. I will put a link here, but don’t know if it will be allowed: https://expose-news.com/2022/07/24/monkeypox-hep-sads-covid-vaccine-injury-coverup/?cmid=eabd4265-9048-4605-b169-55ca8dced5bc
“Until now, scientists have been flummoxed as to the root cause of the illness….”
Strange type of scientists, aren’t they? The cause was bleedin obvious to many lay people I know, including to myself. We even predicted such things.
They have to pretend to be mystified to keep up the pretence that all of this “collateral damage” was unexpected.
Exactly.
Same with the BBC and their “Unvaccinated”.
There was an interesting interview on Mark Steyn’s GB News show tonight with someone who appeared on that misleading BBC nonsense, it seems under false pretences. Among other things we learned that a science “expert” (Professor Finn) used in the programme leads a research group within the Pfizer “vaccine” centre of excellence, but “receives no payment or benefit directly from Pfizer” (but as Mark Steyn ironically noted, presumably believes they are “excellent” if he consented to to do work for them).
I wonder what the odds are of the “impartial” BBC using an expert who led research within the Orthomolecular [nutritional] Medicine News Service? At a guess, to borrow a phrase (Herbie film), they range from slight to impossible.
As ever, Mark Steyn’s show is genuinely worth watching in full.

To be fair, we did debate it at some length on the former forum, without reaching reliable conclusions. I suspect they’ve known for some time, but have been unable to announce their findings.
I am not convinced their explanation makes sense. Some of the children impacted were rather older, approaching teens. They’d have been exposed to both adenoviruses and this other virus previously.
But doesn’t this condition occur rarely anyway in previous times? The recent examples are actually a cluster? If so, maybe it did occur previously in older children, but only rarely so we didn’t hear about it?
I don’t know – only offering suggestions. For my part, I long suspected it might be a consequence of lockdown meaning children didn’t come into contact with bugs.
“The science” scientists, as opposed to ones involved with the OMNS…
Precisely what many of us said would happen when the lockdowns began!
Immunity Debt. Yet another way that children were the biggest casualties of this massive and unprecedented experiment of protracted lockdowns, masks, and related restrictions. And that’s BEFORE we even scratch the surface of the experimental gene therapy jabs misnamed “vaccines”. Of course, the very first casualty of all was the truth, and it went downhill from there…
In the USA, most of which was less strict than the UK, apparently the number of pediatric hepatitis cases was not significantly different than pre-pandemic years according to a newer report. Though I doubt those findings generalize to stricter countries like the UK.
The first casualty was TRUTH.
The second casualty was INNOCENCE.
The third casualty was LOVE.
And the final casualty is HUMANITY.
But the crucial question wasn’t asked: how many of these children with hepatitis had been vaccinated? Many well-qualified people are saying the hepatitis outbreak (and monkeypox and Sudden Adult Death Syndrome, or whatever it is) is the result of vaccines. Have a read of The Expose.
