It's neither, Trump didn't actually say vaccines cause autism and you'd know that if you read the article, lets not turn into Reddit 2.0 too quickly. Edit to further expand: The Independent if you're not completely familiar with them are a very political far-left website and articles like this where they take quotes that sound vaguely like the point they want to make then create a false narrative based on it. I'm not saying never trust them - but never trust them when it comes to politics anymore than you would trust Stormfront for Jewish news or Guardian for feminist news.

I know what he said, but as you pointed out, the article was obviously meant to humiliate him. Given that the intent of the article was to humiliate him for being anti-vax, I'd assumed that OP knew it was all BS and was jabbing at Trump. I couldn't help but be surprised when I got to the comments and saw him supporting that crap.

It sounded like a shitty "teach the controversy" statement. Like, "Hey, I'm not saying we didn't and on the moon, but where's the stars?" or "I believe evolution, but the bible says it's not real, why can't we teach both sides?" It's fucking stupid, pandering, and cowardly. At least have the courage of your convictions.
