Because of some misinformation about vaccines, there are thousands of people who think it's not a good idea to be vaccinated against diseases like the flu or chicken pox or measles.
In Kentucky, however, there is a case where the anti-vaccination movement took a step backward.
Jerome Kunkel, 18, is a student at a Catholic high school, and unsuccessfully attempted to sue the state health department, citing religious beliefs as a reason why he & his family refuse to accept vaccines.
BOLLOCKS & BALDERDASH!!!
In a clear case of reaping what you sow, Kunkel, according to an article on Yahoo!, has himself contracted chicken pox, and now cannot return to school until the disease runs its course. The Kunkel family bought into the big lie about vaccinations (I'd like to meet the jabroni who started this nonsense and smack him upside the head), and now, Jerome is paying the price.
Personal note: I contracted chicken pox in 1973, as did my brother. I was 10, he was 7. We were attending summer camp in town, and ended up missing a few days. As a result, I have to be vaccinated for shingles. In time, Mr. Kunkel and his family will, too, whether they like it or not. Trying to dodge the vaccine based on religious beliefs is, to me, asinine, and asking for trouble, which has already visited the Kunkel family.
As a representative of the folly of the anti-vaccination movement, Jerome Kunkel has also contracted a Dunce Cap. At least he can wear that pretty well........
