Quote:
The petitioners in this case have advanced a causation theory that has several parts, including
contentions (1) that thimerosal-containing vaccines can cause immune dysfunction, (2) that the
MMR vaccine can cause autism, and (3) that the MMR vaccine can cause chronic gastrointestinal
dysfunction. However, as to each of those issues, I concluded that the evidence was overwhelmingly
contrary to the petitioners’ contentions.

After considering the record as a whole, I hold that petitioners have failed to
establish by preponderant evidence that Colten’s condition was caused or significantly
aggravated by a vaccine or any component thereof. The evidence presented was both
voluminous and extraordinarily complex. After careful consideration of all of the
evidence, it was abundantly clear that petitioners’ theories of causation were
speculative and unpersuasive.

case. Having carefully and fully considered the
evidence, the undersigned concludes that the combination of the thimerosal-containing
vaccines and the MMR vaccine are not causal factors in the development of autism and
therefore, could not have contributed to the development of Yates’ autism. The weight of
the presented evidence that is scientifically reliable and methodologically sound does not
support petitioners’ claim
