‘This kind of message is dangerous’: Donald Trump connects vaccinations and autism; Update: Doubles down

If I were President I would push for proper vaccinations but would not allow one time massive shots that a small child cannot take – AUTISM.

@realDonaldTrump @BigGreek79 LoL. You should actually learn the facts about the Autism spectrum before making idiotic connections.

@realDonaldTrump we all we vaccinated the same way, you too Donald. Multiple vaccinations does not bring on autism. Get a clue.

@realDonaldTrump Are you kidding? I'm normally okay with your dumb ramblings, but spreading stuff like this is DANGEROUSLY stupid.

@realDonaldTrump you need to think about what you're saying before you say it. Be accountable for how dangerous what you're saying is.

@realDonaldTrump There's no evidence to this, and spreading this conspiracy can be devastating. be responsible with your influence.

@realDonaldTrump You're a fool. My daughters both got whooping cough because of anti-vaccine idiots in their classes.

Healthy young child goes to doctor, gets pumped with massive shot of many vaccines, doesn't feel good and changes – AUTISM. Many such cases!

.@realDonaldTrump I have to admit, your commitment to being on the wrong side of every issue is admirable
