A report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) appeared to rule out COVID-19 and COVID-19 vaccines as factors in the mysterious cases of hepatitis among children in Alabama.

The CDC report, published Friday, said that none of the Alabama children tested positive for COVID-19 when they were taken to the hospital. None also had a previously documented case of SARS-CoV-2, also known as the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, or had received the COVID-19 vaccine.
