Business magnate Donald Trump showed up on conservative radio host Laura Ingraham's show on Tuesday morning to declare he had personally seen vaccines cause "horrible autism" in children. But he insisted that he remains "totally pro-vaccine."
"I've known people that had totally magnificent children, functioning a hundred percent, everything beautiful, smart as a whip, and they go for this shot and get this shot of this massive dose, of everything at one time, and they end up with horrible autism," Trump said.
The mogul and sometimes presidential candidate repeated that he has seen children go from being "exceptional" to "autistic" several more times during the show.
"It's amazing that it's never discussed," he added, saying that he's gotten thanks from people who are "incensed in terms of what's going on with vaccines." Trump, oddly, went on to state that he is nevertheless "a huge fan of vaccines" and "totally pro-vaccine." He suggested they be given in smaller doses.

(5,810 posts)The misinformation he is so freely dispensing? I am appalled at the number of people who will take the word of a "celebrity" or politician over the medical doctors and researchers who have more than a little clue about the topic. But then...these are the SAME people who deny climate change and suggest or outright claim it is a hoax. And people listen to them and disregard the world's scientists. Aaarrrggghhh!
