[edit]From a Twitter post by Donald Trump (@realDonaldTrump) in 2014, popularized after his election as President of the United States:
Healthy young child goes to doctor, gets pumped with massive shot of many vaccines, doesn't feel good and changes - AUTISM. Many such cases!
Phrase

- Used other than figuratively or idiomatically: see many, such, cases, indicating that there are many examples of something or that something is a common occurrence.
Usage notes
[edit]- The literal sense is used to humorous effect where inappropriate: when there are not actually many examples of something.
