I see no contradiction with his other position:


During a 2015 Republican primary presidential debate on CNN (http://cnnpressroom.blogs.cnn.com/2015/09/16/cnn-reagan-library-debate-later-debate-full-transcript/), Trump told CNN's Jake Tapper that he was in favor of "smaller doses (of vaccinations) over a longer period of time."

"Autism has become an epidemic. Twenty-five years ago, 35 years ago, you look at the statistics, not even close. 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," Trump said.

"Because you take a baby in -- and I've seen it -- and I've seen it, and I had my children taken care of over a long period of time, over a two- or three-year period of time. Same exact amount, but you take this little beautiful baby, and you pump -- I mean, it looks just like it's meant for a horse, not for a child, and we've had so many instances, people that work for me."

Trump first weighed in on the issue on Twitter in 2012.
"Massive combined inoculations to small children is the cause for big increase in autism," he claimed (https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/238717783007977473?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5E tweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E238717783007977473&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fmashable.com%2F2017%2F01%2F1 0%2Fdonald-trump-vaccines-autism%2F).

He made a similar argument in 2014, tweeting, "Healthy young child goes to doctor, gets pumped with massive shot of many vaccines, doesn't feel good and changes - AUTISM. Many such cases!"



He said to spread them out and not give them so early in the child's development NOT to never get them.

He is also NOT calling for a mandate:


"They have to get the shots. The vaccinations are so important. This is really going around now. They have to get their shots," Trump told CNN's Joe Johns on Friday when asked what his message is for parents.
