Don't know how they ever expected to win this one considering they had no credible scientific evidence to back their case. Not to mention following the Wakefield fiasco multiple studies found no link.

WASHINGTON (AP) — In a big blow to parents who believe vaccines caused their children's autism, a special court ruled Thursday that the shots are not to blame.
The court said the evidence was overwhelmingly contrary to the parents' claims — and backed years of science that found no risk.
"It was abundantly clear that petitioners' theories of causation were speculative and unpersuasive," the court concluded in one of a trio of cases ruled on Thursday.
The ruling was anxiously awaited by health authorities and families who began presenting evidence in June 2007. More than 5,500 claims have been filed by families seeking compensation through the government's Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. The claims are reviewed by special masters serving on the U.S. Court of Claims.
