Donald Trump on vaccines: Its not helpful, experts say
Rory Carroll in Los Angeles

Donald Trump blames a link to vaccines for causing autism. But he cant blame vaccines for his own apparent memory problem.
[font size=1]-snip-[/font]
Whatever the cause of the ailment, it was a sad story. But not, it seems, a new story. In April 2012 the tycoon-turned reality TV star told a very similar tale to Fox News.
It happened to somebody that worked for me recently. I mean, they had this beautiful child, not a problem in the world, and all of the sudden they go in and they get this monster shot ... they pump this in to this little body and then all of the sudden the child is different a month later.
Was Trump referring to two different cases, or was he recycling the same story and freshening it up with a just the other day reference? His campaign did not respond to a Guardian query on Thursday.
The apparent blurring of time, according to political and medical experts, fit a pattern of smudging facts about vaccinations.
