Thank Trump for his recent autism-vaccine statement ...

[Guest guest]

and encourage him to continue his public efforts for this issue.

It seems that the best way to contact him is through the Trump

Organization that gives it's contact information on their website as

follows:

Address: 725 5th Ave., NY,NY 10022

Phone: 212-832-2000

Fax: 212-935-0141

I just faxed a thank you note to him and encouraged him to continue

to use his great media presence and deep resources to make a real

impact on getting safer vaccines for our children in the US and

around the world. Maybe if he hears from enough of us, he will get

more involved.

Here is his statement if you haven't read it yet -

At a news conference Thursday in a gold-trimmed Mar-A-Lago ballroom,

Trump's wife, Melania, noted her 22-month-old son, Baron, and

said: " I cannot imagine what the mothers [with autistic children] and

mothers all around the world go through. ... Let's get rid of autism. "

In an interview, Trump said he thinks the rising prevalence of

autism is related to vaccinations of babies and toddlers.

One in 150 children is now diagnosed with autism, with the prevalence

higher among boys.

" When I was growing up, autism wasn't really a factor, " he said. " And

now all of a sudden, it's an epidemic. Everybody has their theory,

and my theory is the shots. They're getting these massive injections

at one time. I think it's the vaccinations. "
