At this point, the 45th President of the United States has gained quite a reputation for his half-truths, lies and contradictory statements, and this is certainly the case when it comes to vaccinations. Throughout the early 2010s he made several comments condemning mandatory vaccination and making numerous claims suggesting that vaccines are linked to autism.
