Steve Baldwin v. HHS - MMR, peripheral neuropathy, neuritis, and myalgia (2016)

Steve Baldwin filed a petition on September 22, 2014, alleging that he suffered from peripheral neuropathy, neuritis, and myalgia as a result of receiving two Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR) vaccines on January 16, 2012, and February 24, 2012. He also alleged that he experienced residual effects from these injuries for more than six months.

The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that the MMR vaccinations caused or significantly aggravated the petitioner's alleged injuries or any other injury, and denied that the petitioner's current disabilities were the result of a vaccine-related injury. Despite this denial, the parties reached a joint stipulation for damages.

The court found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as the decision of the Court. The parties agreed that Steve Baldwin would receive a lump sum of $50,000.00 as compensation for all damages available under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.

The decision was entered on June 7, 2016.
