Trump Flashback: Autism “Has Gotten Totally Out of Control”

“Autism has become an epidemic. 25 years ago, 35 years ago, you look at the statistics, not even close. It has gotten totally out of control. I am totally in favor of vaccines, but I want smaller doses over a longer period of time because you take a baby in ... and you pump. I mean it looks just like it’s meant for a horse, not for a child.

“And we’ve had so many instances, people that worked for me. Just the other day, two years old, two and a half years old, a child, a beautiful child went to have the vaccine and came back and a week later got a tremendous fever, got very, very sick — now is autistic. I’m in favor of vaccines. Do them over a longer period of time, same amount. Just in little sections.”
