Yolanda Stibor v. HHS - Influenza, transverse myelitis (2023)

David Stibor, as personal representative of the estate of Yolanda Stibor, filed a petition for compensation alleging that Ms. Stibor suffered from transverse myelitis and subsequently passed away as a result of receiving an influenza vaccine on October 29, 2018.

The petition was filed on October 1, 2020. The court reviewed the information and found that the record did not contain evidence of a Table Injury, nor persuasive evidence that the alleged injuries were caused by the flu vaccine.

Furthermore, the medical records were insufficient to prove the claim by a preponderance of the evidence, and no supportive expert opinion on causation had been filed. Consequently, the petitioner filed an unopposed motion to dismiss the case, stating that further proceedings would be unreasonable and a waste of resources.

The court granted the dismissal for insufficient proof. The decision was issued on March 16, 2023.
