A Kentucky teenager who made headlines when he sued a local health department over its vaccination policy has now come down with chickenpox.

Jerome Kunkel, an 18-year-old student at Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Assumption Academy who was banned from school and his basketball team for refusing the chickenpox vaccination, now has the easily-preventable disease, a lawyer for the teen confirmed to NBC News.

Kunkel, who opposes vaccines due to his religious beliefs, reportedly understood the risk and still does not regret the decision.

"These are deeply held religious beliefs, they're sincerely held beliefs," attorney Christopher Wiest told the outlet. "From [his family's] perspective, they always recognized they were running the risk of getting it, and they were OK with it."

Kunkel sued the Northern Kentucky Health Department in March after it ruled that all students at Sacred Heart Assumption Academy who hadn't been vaccinated against chickenpox could no longer come to classes amid an outbreak of the disease, which began in February and included 32 confirmed cases.

Bullshit.
I was raised Catholic, and I had the shot over 60 years ago.
Religion had nothing to do with it.

:iagree: The Vatican has had no moral objections to these vaccines. :shrug:

Getting tired of this anti-vaxxer :bs: :spdchk: they're the reason for a lot of these formerly-eradicated diseases like measles/etc coming back. :ack:

:iagree:

:iagree: I got my shots at the Catholic school I attended.

You can't go to a private school, then blame them for their policies. You're going there on your own accord, if you don't like it, go somewhere else.

My kids both go to Catholic school, and they are required to have their shots.

Illegal aliens from the Third World have a lot to do with it, too.

[Libtard] That's racist!!!! [/Libtard]

:yesnod: The illegal aliens are bringing diseases with them when they come here, and the anti-vaxxer idiots are failing to protect themselves (and the rest of the herd for that matter) from those diseases. :ack:

If everyone else is vaccinated then why are they worried about getting it?

The vaccines are mostly effective, but not 100%, meaning, you might have been vaccinated back in the day for something and you might still get it. There's a newer shingles vaccine out there that is purporting to be 90 or so percent effective. So you get it, you're better off than if you didn't but you're not bullet proof.

The ebola patient zero in Dallas was a guy who traveled here legally from a shithole country and lied about the fact that he'd been exposed to the virus while he was there in order to get past customs. And of course WE, the taxpayers paid for all his medical treatment, because of course we did.

I heard on the news a few days ago that if you were vacinated before
1965 (not sure of the year, but it was in the 60s), you may need a booster to combat this newer strain of the MMR disease.
I got my vaccine in the late 50s.

Karma, thou art a cruel bitch. But also occasionally funny as hell!:kick:
