I think many of us have the same thoughts when we read stories like this. We worry that little tidbits of information taken out of context will be weaponized for whatever batsh*t theory some wingnut wants to promote. (Do I sound bitter? )

Honestly, I would find it more likely that the inflammation caused by the Sars-Cov-2 virus would be more likely to cause this kind of liver problem, but my medical degree is from Google University, so I try to leave the real speculation to the experts.
