William Wickham v. HHS - Influenza, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) (2024)

William Wickham filed a petition for vaccine compensation alleging that the influenza vaccine he received on October 1, 2020, caused him to develop chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP). The court ordered Mr.

Wickham multiple times to submit his complete medical records and proof of vaccination. He failed to provide the vaccination record, his complete medical records, or any expert support for his claim that his CIDP was vaccine-related.

The court also noted that the respondent suggested his GBS/CIDP might be related to an active COVID-19 infection. Mr.

Wickham was given an Order to Show Cause why his claim should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute and comply with court orders. He failed to respond by the deadline.

The court found that Mr. Wickham did not prove he suffered a Table Injury, nor did he provide sufficient evidence that his injury was vaccine-caused.

Because he failed to comply with court orders and prosecute his case, and because he failed to provide sufficient proof of a vaccine-related injury, the case was dismissed.
