Hannah Marie Robinson v. HHS - HPV, chest pain, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, chronic headaches, autoimmune disease, upper and lower extremity weakness, chronic pain, hypotension, blurred vision, tingling and numbness, and gait disturbance (2016)

Hannah Marie Robinson filed a petition alleging that the Gardasil vaccine caused her to suffer a range of symptoms including chest pain, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, chronic headaches, autoimmune disease, weakness in her extremities, chronic pain, hypotension, blurred vision, tingling and numbness, and gait disturbance. She received three doses of the Gardasil vaccine between July 2012 and January 2013.

The respondent is the Secretary of Health and Human Services. After reviewing the record, the Special Master determined that the petitioner was not entitled to compensation.

The petitioner subsequently filed a motion to dismiss her own petition, acknowledging that an investigation of the facts and science demonstrated she would be unable to prove entitlement to compensation. The decision noted that to receive compensation, the petitioner must prove either a Table Injury or that the vaccine actually caused her injuries.

The record did not reveal a Table Injury, nor did it contain persuasive evidence, such as a medical expert's opinion, indicating that the vaccine caused her alleged conditions. As the petition lacked the required supporting evidence, it was dismissed for insufficient proof.

The Clerk was directed to enter judgment accordingly, as the parties jointly renounced the right to seek review.
