      I really wonder what the fuck is going on American government health orgs. I get the sense the CDC functions more like a part of a Biden/Dem PR team. Connecting stuff to covid is bad so they try very hard not to do it.

      For a while the CDC said that the mysterious acute hepatitis condition in children was related to dogs. As in family pets. But then they quietly stopped mentioning that. I wonder if that's covid related.

      I can't be arsed to look into it further, but all articles with this doctor are basically copy-pastes, and no "reputable" source has yet covered this. Didn't find any mention of there being an uptick, nor what even prompted this discussion at all.

      The doctor in question, having just finished their PhD research into SADS, could have just been trying to get herself in a newspaper (getting published is what it's all about in academics, even just mentions) after which other journalists from lesser newspapers (again, the only ones who have this far written on this) don't do their due diligence and quickly post an article about scary medical thing that will get people to click.

      It's the process of manufacturing consent which Herman & Chomsky described , but on a small scale, basically.
