(READ) CDC at a loss to explain surging hepatitis liver damage cases in children
DATED: MAY 18, 2022 BY SHARYL ATTKISSON
36 states have reported 180 mysterious hepatitis cases in children
9-15% of the children have required liver transplants
Numerous countries are reporting simultaneous surges in similar cases
CDC says it has no idea what's causing the illnesses
The surge has happened since children were approved for Covid vaccines
CDC surveillance for pediatric hepatitis cases of unknown origin dates back to Oct. 2021 when Covid vaccines were first approved for young children
Some public health experts have ruled out the vaccine as a culprit since not all of the sick children had gotten vaccinated
CDC says "adenovirus has been detected in nearly half of the children and continues to be a strong lead"
A different variant of adenovirus is used to make the Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 vaccine
CDC recently limited use of the Johnson & Johnson Covid vaccine citing another reason: blood clot risk
Some scientists say that when it comes to vaccines, it's possible for viral changes to occur that end up impacting populations that were not vaccinated
CDC says no deaths have been reported so far
