Actually, from the article: "The Special Masters in those three cases
found that Petitioners failed to establish causation between MMR
vaccines...."

So there were three cases, and the truth that autism is not caused by
vaccines won.

This is a serious distortion of the article. The article is not about
"those three cases" but about another one.

From the article:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
the parents of yet another child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD)
were awarded a lump sum of more than $810,000 (plus an estimated
$30-40,000 per year for autism services and care) in compensation by the
Court, which ruled that the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine had
caused acute brain damage that led to his autism spectrum disorder.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The decision is available at
http://big.assets.huffingtonpost.com/BANKS_CASE.pdf

It says, in part:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Court found that Bailey would not have suffered this [developmental]
delay but for the administration of the MMR vaccine, and that this chain
of causation was not too remote, but was rather a proximate sequence of
cause and effect leading inexorably from vaccination to Pervasive
Developmental Delay.
