1 / 2A Kentucky teenager who made headlines when he sued a local health department over its vaccination policy has now come down with chickenpox.
Kunkel, who opposes vaccines due to his religious beliefs, reportedly understood the risk and still does not regret the decision. 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.
