A special US court, often referred to as the "vaccine court," was convened to test claims of a causal connection between the administering of a vaccination (generally the Measles, Mumps, Rubella, or MMR vaccine) and the onset soon-after of paediatric autism.
The court stipulated (on page 22, here) that any successful petition to the courts must present three things successfully.
(1) "a medical theory" that causally connects the vaccinations and the child’s autism;
(2) "a logical sequence of cause and effect" that shows that the child’s vaccinations were the "reason" for the injury;
(3) evidence of "a proximate temporal relationship" between vaccination and injury.
The court tested two possible theories.
The first theory being that the vaccination itself was the cause and the second being that the mercury-containing compound Thimerosal, used as a preservative.
Neither theory stood up to the scrutiny of experts or the court officials.
