In a stunning development for the ostracized, often criticized, vaccine safety awareness movement, cause celebre, and business mogul, Donald Trump raised concern about vaccinations on Monday, April 2, the anniversary of the fifth annual World Autism Awareness Day. Trump ‘warned’ Fox News viewers he “strongly believes that Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are linked to exposure to vaccines.”¹

During the interview, the tycoon revealed that a series of casual observations led him to the conclusion that ‘”monster” vaccinations cause Autism. The remark was probably a bombshell for pro-vaccine advocates including doctors, pharmaceutical companies, the government – and oh yes, Bill Gates. They have all fervently denied that observation -long a tenet of ‘science-based research’ – has anything to do with a medical outcome.

Trump acknowledged that speaking out against vaccines and the vaccine schedule is very controversial. But then he went on to state: “…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.”

Trump’s statement is a victory for parents who have long believed vaccines contributed to the neurological damage their children suffered post -vaccination. Although Trump is not against vaccines, he has spoken out before regarding his concerns about the increasing number of required immunizations in the childhood vaccination schedule.

Autism Rates Rise with Increase in Vaccination Schedule

The Center for Disease Control (CDC) just released a study based on 2008 data revealing Autism rates have risen to an all-time high. Health records for 8 year old children in 14 states were analyzed showing Autism now affects 1 in 88 children; and 1 in 54 boys in the U.S.^2.

Between 1960 and 1980 – children were subjected to 24 and 25 doses of vaccines. As of 2010, infants and children are exposed to 70 vaccines in the same time period. To put this in perspective – a child born today will receive more vaccine doses by the time he is six months old than his mother did by the time she went to college. With the addition of vaccinations to the adult schedule; a person will receive close to 167 vaccine doses over their lifetime. It is interesting to note that Alzheimer’s rates are also increasing as more vaccines are administered to senior citizens. Subsequently vaccine manufacturers are now wallowing in a 27 billion dollar a year industry. At what cost to our children; at what financial loss to America’s families?

The CDC data even becomes more compelling when individual state demographic rates are examined. The number of children identified with ASDs ranged from 1 in 210 children in Alabama to 1 in 49 children in New Jersey and 1 in 47 children in Utah. On the other hand the state of Iowa is showing 1 in 718 children are at risk for ASDs.
