It first warned parents of the outbreak Feb. 5, urging them to get their children vaccinated.
The school's sporting events were also canceled until the 21 days after the last sickened student or teacher presents a rash. "The fact that I can't finish my senior year in basketball, like, our last couple of games, it's pretty devastating. I mean, you go through four years of high school playing basketball, you look forward to your senior year," Kunkle told WLWT.
The symptom of chickenpox, also known as varicella, is characterized by a blister-like rash and can be especially dangerous for babies, pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems, according to the Northern Kentucky Health Department. The virus can be spread by contact and through the air.
An outbreak can't happen if everyone else has been vaccinated. I don't see an issue here..
It’s funny how everyone vaccinated is so scared of a child that isn’t. Your kids are vaccinated right? Aren’t you “immune”? Or are you saying your not confident your vaccinations are going to work? I’m not 100% against vaccines at all, but your kinda contradicting your argument.
I’m Christian, and I never heard about this being against that religion.
Can I sue him for endangering the health of everyone else at that school for “not believing” in science?

I have no sympathy for him. At all. What is he going to get out of it in the long run?! A vaccine shot?! Probably! No one is going to pay you money because didn't want a shot. 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
We all get to make choices. You do not retain the right to put other citizens at risk.
Sue your parents, thank the school. That’s the lesson here.
That kid should just go to a Christian school since they don't 'science' and don't seem to mind thinning their own herd.
It’s called get vaccinated Kid.... not that difficult
No sympathy for this and all other “just me” justme brats. They’re dangerous to everyone else. Stay home kid.
If you willingly put others at risk, I have no sympathy for him.
Cause chicken pox is so deadly 🤣
Entitled brats abound
Maybe it’s ok the other students not get too attached. Unvaccinated kids aren’t going to last long...maybe it’s better the rest majority of the public learn about death with goldfish, hamsters, great grandparents... like normal?
Might I suggest home schooling by computer...it will keep the rest of us,..safe from people that don't get vaccinated. 😡
Perhaps they could have two teams and two leagues.
He’s not even banned from basketball forever. He’s been asked to stay out while the outbreak is ongoing. It’s clearly a health safety issue. Meanwhile kids are banned from schools all the time for having nits even though headlice are not dangerous in any way, just annoying.
Nope. No vaccine = no going to school. Period.
Smh u want money too and kill other people so if someone die on ur no vaccine self can they sue u get real
So let’s have every parent of a student with an infant living in the house sue THAT STUPID KID and see where that goes? YourChoiceTheirLives
Good luck with that
Good. He'll win too.
Banning the unvaccinated from school is a common practice. Chickenpox can have serious complications.
That's crazy.
Risk your child’s life for fad & myth without a medical necessity needs to be criminal. The person whose child exposed my medically compromised child almost cost her her life and a month in stay in hospital with air forced in to open her lungs. Whose rights were violated?
He should enroll in a hippy lice filled school where nobody gets immunizations.
I’m suing this kid because he is wasting my time!! Get over yourself buddy...maybe trade school is a better fit as this is plain ignorant
I can’t put my dog in a kennel without up to date vacc certificates.
Not gonna win.
He’s not suing. His anti vaxer parents are.
No vaccines, no public school. Period!
Let's not mince word. The guy is an idiot! By not being vaccinated he puts at risk not only himself, but also other students.
ME: It's 3:00 YOU: No it isn't ME: Sure it is- there's the damn clock YOU: That clock was made in China It's not accurate ME: It's now 5 minutes later since we've been arguing YOU: No it's not
Another argument for allowing the South to Secede, then letting Donny build his wall South of the MidWest.
Get vaccinated. It protects the rest of us.
Well he ought to sue the school for only educating him to moron level. Then he needs to attend a lecture series on the importance of 'the greater good' in a social infrastructure. Or he can just catch smallpox and die...either way problem solved.
just get vaccinated, geez, is that so hard? He should stop being a cry baby.
This is bullshit
If he thinks not playing basketball in his senior year of high school is 'devastating', he should look into how dangerous chicken pox is in teens and adults.
For a minute there I thought he dropped his privilege, but it was just his hypocritical Bible. Where was 'Thou Shall Not Take Vaccines' in the Bible?
Bahaha good on the school. novaxnoschool
Good, kids who are not up to date with their vaccines should NOT be allowed in schools. This is now a public health issue.
It is chickenpox though... I did not even know they vaccinated for that. They used to just let you get it. Not a big deal.
Parents & student made this choice. Group health over individual
His body his choice
Vaccinations are common sense, prevents DEATH as well as permanent consequences of some of these nasty diseases 🦁👎🏼
I heard he’s using DevinNunes’ lawyer. 🤣😂🤣😂
What's the point of school if you're incapable of learning.
Go to an unvaccinated school then
Like, get the shot then
Shame on the parents. The anti Vax movement is DANGEROUS! The measles outbreak in Washington would never have happened if parents vaccinated their kids
LUL too bad kid stay at home and get sick
Ridiculous lawsuit
From now on parents of unvaccinated kids should sued for outbreaks in schools.
...bye. Stay home.
He shouldn’t be allowed in the school at all.
Too bad
