It is baseless considering the hepatitis cases, in the original submission, are affecting _children_ under 5, for whom there is absolutely no covid vacination programmes.


I would say that's a correction needed for their understanding of the context, more than a baseless accusation.


This article never says 5 years old children, what it says is:

"Scottish health authorities had initially reported 10 cases of acute hepatitis in children aged under 10 --on 5 April--, the origin of which was not established".

"--" are mine. Some of those children weren't vaccinated, most had less than 5 years old but not all. At least in Spain some were aged enough to receive a vaccine. As it seems that some adults had liver problems after being vaccinated, and that some of the cases could be still undiscovered, the question is valid and the hypothesis deserve further discussion.

Maybe are we missing some additional info that does not appear here?
