A US teenager, who controversially sued his own high school last month, after refusing to have the chickenpox vaccination, has now contracted the virus.

Jerome Kunkel, a devout Christian from Kentucky, made headlines several weeks ago after he and his family launched legal action against his school, Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Assumption Academy.

In the weeks since his unsuccessful lawsuit, Jerome has contracted the highly contagious virus that he refused to be inoculated for. Despite the ironic turn of events, Mr Weist told NBC News his client did not regret refusing the chickenpox vaccination.“From their perspective, they always recognised they were running the risk of getting it, and they were OK with it.”Jerome’s lawyer said his client opposed the vaccine on “religious grounds” and that his personal rights had been violated when he was banned from attending school.

Mr Weist claimed the chickenpox vaccination was “immoral, illegal and sinful” and contradicted everything his client believed.The family unsuccessfully sued Jerome’s high school for discrimination. Picture: NBC NewsJerome’s father, Bill Kunkel, told NBC News that their ultra conservative family was vehemently opposed to the chickenpox vaccine as it was “derived from aborted foetuses”.

Idiot.

Read this: Jerome’s father, Bill Kunkel, told NBC News that their ultra conservative family was vehemently opposed to the chickenpox vaccine as it was “derived from aborted foetuses” These people are on another planet!

Serves him right for stupidly refusing to have the chickenpox vaccination.

🤣

I believe it’s called Karma...

Did the editor slip out for smoko when this article was posted?

Yeah he probably contracted it from those who had been vaccinated for it.

So what, it's harmless to 99.9 % of people

Now he needs to be immunised against the Karma virus.

Did he died?

News?

Suck eggs 🥚

Silly goose

Karma

Deserves him right 😂😂

😂😂😂

irony

Bruh

Ha ha

Play stupid games win stupid prices

Karma

There was no vaccine when I contracted it at 19. Give me a jab any day compared to the horror of the🐔 pox

Everyone use to get it once... lol

I don’t get it, what is all the fuss over these childhood bugs ? I was born in the 60’s and we all got measles, mumps and chicken pox and it was no big deal.

Sooo it won’t kill him....

Hilarious.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha 😂

Oh the poor kid is now also susceptible to a life time of painful debilitating shingles. That would add insult to injury 😏

Karma. He will also get shingles unless he has the vax for that. Ho. Ho. Ho.

He won’t die

Parents just be sure your kids get it young No biggie

Darwin.

CliveFPalmer now find out the consequences

Even his legal team be like...

I back his freedom of choice & long may he enjoy his choice :-)

you know... karma is the bitch :p

That was KARMA........LOL.

Karma is so freaking on point at the moment.

Haha

These idiots don't realise that by spreading the disease they can kill people. I know of a young woman who got chicken pox whilst very pregnant - it caused pulmonary problems and both her and her twin babies died.

Awesome news

‘, scientists did develop the chickenpox vaccine using various cells from two aborted foetuses in the 1960s’ - I didn’t know that. Doesn’t chickenpox become quite serious if you’re infected as an adult?

His religion says it’s sinful to have the vaccine. So obviously the same religion does not consider other people. 🙈

poeticjustice

StupidIdiot

so if I am thinking this correctly if he was vaccinated he would not have caught them and could have attended the basketball finals?

Hope he gets them really bad on his balls
