The long, sordid antivaccine history of Donald Trump
ScienceBlogs ^ | September 15, 2015 | Orac (David H. Gorski, MD, PhD, FACS)

... Trump is antivaccine to the core. Don’t believe me? Never heard this before? Oh, ye of little faith! Orac can back up this statement very easily. To begin, let’s take a trip down memory lane. Donald Trump might be hip, happening, and now as far as the media is concerned because of his skill for making outrageous and often offensive statements so full of burning stupid as to threaten to singe the fabric of reality, but one thing that isn’t frequently discussed is his long history of parroting antivaccine misinformation.

The first time I learned of Donald Trump’s antivaccine proclivities was way back in 2007. What was he saying back then? This:

“When I was growing up, autism wasn’t really a factor,” Trump said. “And now all of a sudden, it’s an epidemic. Everybody has their theory. My theory, and I study it because I have young children, my theory is the shots. We’ve giving these massive injections at one time, and I really think it does something to the children.” ...

As president, he’ll have no influence as to whether or not vaccines are “allowed” or not.

I’d love to know if his slew of kids have had their boosters. I’ll bet they did!

Wasn’t it established some months ago, by the CDC, that vaccines caused autism? Anyone who thinks that the huge cocktail of vaccines given to new-born babies is okay would probably not want the same cocktail squirted onto their open palms.

I don't think so. More likely that puppies hate The Don.

From the article blog...

"Referring to his and his wife Melania’s 22-month-old son Baron, Trump continued: “What we’ve done with Baron, we’ve taken him on a very slow process. He gets one shot at a time then we wait a few months and give him another shot, the old-fashioned way. But today they pump the children with so much at a very young age. We do it on a very, very conservative level.”"

“... Trump is antivaccine to the core.”

Do you think that is misleading? His own child gets vaccines.

Do you have the same statement if he is pro-abortion.

So I just KNOW I can count on this dude to give me an objective report.

I'm not under any misapprehension as to Trump - he's going to do a lot of things I don't like.

But he is making the right enemies, and he's going to give us back our self-respect as a country.

“Referring to his and his wife Melania’s 22-month-old son Baron, Trump continued: “What we’ve done with Baron, “

His son’s name is spelled Barron with 2 “R”s.

Shows how much research this idiot has done to write this crap.

Like pretending Trump is such a germophobic he won’t shake hands. Yet you see him shaking hands with all kinds of people.

These attacks have about as much of an effect as a mosquito on an elephant.

Ultimately, vaccination/immunization should be the choice of the parents.
