Donald Trump Links Autism to Vaccines

Published by the website autismoava.org in 2012:

During an interview with Fox News on April 2, 2012, the anniversary of the fifth annual World Autism Awareness Day,
Trump . . . told viewers he “strongly" believes that Autism Spectrum Disorders . . . are linked to exposure to vaccines.

Trump has been actively engaged in helping children with autism for many years. During the interview, the tycoon explained that a series of casual observations had led him to the conclusion that “monster” vaccinations cause autism. . . .

While Trump acknowledged that speaking out against vaccines and the vaccine schedule is controversial, he said " . . . I couldn't care less. I've seen people where they have a perfectly healthy child, and they go for the vaccinations and a month later the child is no longer healthy."

“I’ve gotten to be pretty familiar with the subject,” Trump went on to say. “You know, I have a theory — and it’s a theory that some people believe in — and that’s the vaccinations. We never had anything like this. This is now an epidemic. It’s way, way up over the past 10 years. It’s way up over the past two years. And, you know, when you take a little baby that weighs like 12 pounds into a doctor’s office and they pump them with many, many simultaneous vaccinations — I’m all for vaccinations, but I think when you add all of these vaccinations together and then two months later the baby is so different then lots of different things have happened. I really — I’ve known cases.”
