Judge rules against unvaccinated teen who sued health department for temporarily barring students at his school who aren't immune against chickenpox

Last month, the local health department implemented the policy after an outbreak of chickenpox affected 32 people, which is 13% of the student body, at Our Lady of the Sacred Heart/Assumption Academy in Walton, Kentucky. The student, Jerome Kunkel refuses the chickenpox vaccine, citing his Christian faith. Teen who refused chickenpox vaccine says school is limiting his activities.

Kentucky governor says he exposed his children to chickenpox rather than getting vaccineChickenpox is a very contagious disease that causes a blister-like rash, itching, tiredness and fever, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It can spread by touching or breathing in virus particles. It can be especially serious for babies, pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems.

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

Everyone in the school will sue you

What is up with this town in Kentucky. The article says only 18% of students at this school are fully vaccinated. Unbelievable. How exactly do vaccines violate religious beliefs?

You mean some essential oils + thoughts and prayers didn’t cure him?

Kid sued the wrong people.
