The CDC really wants it to be anything other than covid...

archive.today • Study seeks to provide clues to seeming surge of hepatitis cases in kids

The CDC findings don’t identify what is causing the cases of pediatric hepatitis of unknown origin. [...] But the CDC findings may help to rule some things out. With rates unchanged since before the Covid-19 pandemic, a theory espoused by scientists from Israel — that this is some sort of post-Covid condition — becomes harder to argue.

"A theory espoused by scientists from Israel" is minimizing reality and it's bullshit propaganda. It isn't just Israeli scientists who believe in the theory of long covid liver. Specialists all over the global believe in that theory too.

          That might happen.

          In about a couple weeks I can imagine the CDC director goes on MSNBC: "A potential vector of acute hepatitis in children is unions. As in labor unions. This is a highly unusual development and I will explain...."

          There's instant blowback which greatly surprises the director. And she's angered and hurt by strangers recognizing her in public and walking up to her and yell "Fuck you - scab CDC doc!" in her face. Right in her face! She's the CDC director - how dare they! Do they even listen! She said "potential vector"!

          In light of this and the hostile memes and the #RedactHer hashtag (which everybody knows is directed at her) - the CDC quickly forgets all about labor unions and the replaces it with "Could it be cats?" That's also instantly pilloried, ridiculed and meme'd but she doesn't care - she's not the target. She vanishes for a few weeks and the deputy direct takes her place.

          When the deputy appears on tv every talking head goes out their way to sends their very best to the director in this "trying time" and "How and why can the American people hate doctors. Doctors!..." It's particularly unctuous on MSNBC.

          Meanwhile the CDC director is plotting her revenge.

              Unbeknownst to even her husband - she's not at all what she seems. She is a deep, deep, deep foreign operative. She speaks fluent Russian, Chinese, and Arabic. That means - of course - she's a top secret spy and a toxic asset for the for the Russia-Sino-Bad-Arab-Nations Operation. Her real name is Natasha Fatima Chen. NFC's mind programming began when she was only three years old. She was instructed to destroy the US from the within by becoming a top doc in the American healthcare system.

              She was happily doing that job but the attacks upon her due to the labor union brouhaha and her longing for the nearly always unavailable Mr. X of her love triangle entirely destabilized her. Now she wants total revenge on the US and she wants it quickly. She using her contacts to try to secure a dozen cobalt bombs...

              A cobalt bomb is theoretical nuclear weapon. It's "salted" with ordinary cobalt. When triggered, the neutrons from the nuclear fission reaction will be absorbed by the cobalt and turn it into the radioactive isotope Cobalt-60. This isotope is scattered with the rest of the by products of the explosion, enhancing the nuclear fallout.
