RAEL’S COMMENT:
You always get what you deserve.
A US teenager who took legal action against his school after he was banned for refusing the chickenpox vaccination now has the virus, his lawyer says.
Jerome Kunkel, 18, made headlines last month after he unsuccessfully sued his Kentucky school for barring unimmunised students amid an outbreak.
His lawyer, Christopher Weist, told US media that the teen’s symptoms developed last week.
The student had opposed the vaccine on religious grounds.
His lawsuit argued the vaccine is “immoral, illegal and sinful” and that his rights had been violated.
The ban from his school, Our Lady of the Sacred Heart/Assumption Academy in Walton, came during an outbreak that sickened at least 32 pupils.
Mr Weist told NBC News his young client did not regret his decision to remain unvaccinated.
