Its Kentucky, what do you expect.
If ur kid is not vaccinated, stay the F home
I remember when it was kind of cool to get chickenpox.
You're endangering the lives of others in the public sphere. If you don't want to get vaccinated, then don't go to school either. Just plain fucking common sense, jesus christ.
Guess if its against his religion, because God will protect him. Well that's his belief, but maybe he should be banned from accessing any health care, He doesn't need it
