Looking further, I found an article in the American Journal of Gastroenterology relating the case of a 38-year-old woman who developed AIH after her second dose of the Pfizer vaccine. The Journal concluded, "This case serves to report a potential association and not necessarily causation between the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccination and AIH." The National Library of Medicine reported a case of a 61-year-old woman who came down with AIH after her Pfizer vaccination. Again, there was no conclusion that the vaccine caused her liver damage, but the article did state, "As intensive vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 continues, we would like to emphasize that clinicians should be cautious and consider AIH[.]"
It's true that these cases are all of adults, and the recent outbreak is among children between one month and 16 years old. It's also true that there has been no definitive link established between mRNA vaccine and liver damage, and even if there were a definite cause, this is a tiny handful of cases among millions and millions of mRNA shots.
However, these articles are all from 2021. The possible danger of severe liver disease from mRNA vaccines was being considered a year ago. Perhaps in the absence of the usual suspects that cause autoimmune hepatitis, and the presence of cases where AIH developed after the vaccine, the danger of AIH being a rare side-effect of mRNA vaccination needs to be more thoroughly studied now that so many children are suddenly coming down with severe liver disease for no apparent reason."
