dismissed

Case summary [AI summaries can sometimes make mistakes]

On April 7, 2022, Christophe Glass filed a petition alleging that an MMR vaccine administered on April 19, 2019 caused a neurologic or rheumatologic condition involving pain, paresthesias, twitching, and fasciculations. The public decision notes that petitioner later proceeded pro se and changed legal name during the case.

Petitioner described twitching and nerve sensations beginning two to three days after vaccination, but the case never developed into a supported entitlement presentation. The public record described no unifying diagnosis or reliable expert theory, and respondent indicated it would defend against the claim.

A nerve biopsy was contemplated, but petitioner stopped communicating with the court and did not prosecute the case to a merits record. The petition was dismissed for failure to prosecute and insufficient proof.

The decision was originally filed on October 10, 2025 and reissued publicly on December 9, 2025 after the redaction process. No compensation was awarded.
