The topic of vaccination came up near the end of Wednesday night’s GOP presidential debate, and three of the candidates agreed that American doctors have become too vaccine-happy.
Moderator Jake Tapper confronted Donald Trump about his claim that vaccines cause autism.
The real estate tycoon claimed there have been many instances of vaccines ruining people’s lives, including a baby of one of his employees recently receiving a vaccine, developing a fever a week later, and subsequently becoming autistic.
“Autism has become an epidemic,” Trump declared. “Twenty-five years ago, 30 years ago, you look at the statistics, 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.”
Dr. Ben Carson, a pediatric neurosurgeon, said there is not substantial evidence that vaccines cause autism, but added, “it is true that we are probably giving way too many in too short a period of time, and a lot of pediatricians now recognize that.”
Sen. Rand Paul agreed with Trump and Carson as he praised the smallpox vaccine as “one of the greatest medical discoveries of all time.”
“I’m all for vaccines, but I’m also for freedom,” the Kentucky senator said. “I’m also a little concerned about how they’re bunched up.”
