A lot has been made lately about GOP nominees Donald Trump, Rand Paul, and Ben Carson disputing specific facets of the vaccine industry. Trump being the most direct by saying that he feels strongly that vaccines and autism are related, while Carson and Paul presented ideals that vaccine scheduling could be problematic. Even Carly Fiorina got into the fray, pushing for parental rights for parents who have to decide whether or not to vaccinate. 

The mainstream media has been in damage control mode ever since, CNN bought Sanjay Gupta out of the bullpen to pitch how incredibly insane the Republican candidates were for their statements, while most other

mainstream publishers wrote scathing reviews over the debate. Many publications and even private citizens are trying to paint the GOP candidates as senseless pariahs. But is that true? 

The fact is, these candidates are not the first to question vaccines during a presidential run. Not even close. Current President Barack Obama did the same in 2008. Obama confirmed his reservations over the matter with this statement: “We’ve seen just a skyrocketing autism rate,” Obama said in April 2008 at a rally in Pennsylvania. “Some people are suspicious that it’s connected to the vaccines. This person included.” 2008 was definitely a year that such sentiment would garner criticism, as the CDC was viciously pushing that the autism – vaccine connection was nothing more than an anti-vaxxer’s hoax and that it was based on pseudoscience.

However, once in office, his tuned changed greatly. If we look back at his 2008 campaign donations, we note that most of his top donors were banks. We see no sign of Pharmaceutical influence (here). Fast forward to years later when Obamacare was placed into full swing, and the story changes. Obama’s health care deal lobbed up $35 billion in Pharamceutical profits (here). 

This could mean that someone like Trump could change his stance while in the office, we really can’t say. But it certainly does raise questions about what changed with Obama from his campaign to his time in office. I’d say the aforementioned paragraph somewhat spells out what change happened.
