Even after Ben Carson told him, weakly, that this is not true, Dr. Donald continues to claim a link between vaccines and autism.
Trump cited an “epidemic” of autism, claimed that he was “totally in favor of vaccines,” but said he wanted “smaller doses over a longer period of time,” notes Mediaite.com…
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) states on its website: “[S]cientific studies comparing thousands of children who received the vaccine with thousands of children who have not have been completed, and have not found a relationship between the vaccine and autism.”
As far as giving too many vaccinations too soon, which Carson and Trump mentioned, the APP says: “Babies are exposed to many more antigens every day than what they will get in the vaccines. Antigen exposure happens every time they eat, play on the floor or put a toy in their mouth.”
“Although infants do receive a lot of shots, they are given at the time babies are most at risk of illness and serious complications from the disease.”
