We read with interest the letters “Autoimmune hepatitis developing after coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) Vaccine: Causality or casualty?” by Bril et al.1 and “Autoimmune hepatitis following sars-cov-2 VACCINE: MAY not be a casualty” by Rocco et al2 which highlight the hypothesis that COVID-19 mRNA-based vaccines might in crease the risk of developing autoimmune diseases.
