Unvaccinated

From the BBC:
"Lawsuit as unvaccinated teen banned by US school in outbreak"

A Kentucky teenager is suing his local health authorities after they banned all unvaccinated students from school. Our Lady of the Sacred Heart/Assumption Academy in Walton is battling an outbreak of chickenpox that has already sickened at least 32 pupils. The lawsuit brought by Jerome Kunkel, 18, argues his rights have been violated by barring him from playing basketball. He is not among the students who have caught the virus. Mr Kunkel, who was captain of his team, has been excluded from school since the Northern Kentucky Health Department issued its ban on 14 March. The notification says that due to the outbreak of chickenpox, students who have not been vaccinated or are already immune to the infection must stay home "until 21 days after the onset of rash for the last ill student or staff member". The statement, which also banned all extracurricular activities, said it came "in direct response to a public health threat and was an appropriate and necessary response to prevent further spread of this contagious illness". Jerome Kunkel's father, Bill Kunkel, said the vaccines were derived from aborted foetuses, which goes against his family's religious beliefs.  "I don't believe in that vaccine at all and they're trying to push it on us," he told WLWT-News. Some viruses currently used to make vaccines are grown in cell lines originally sourced by medical researchers from two human foetuses that were electively aborted in the 1960s. But drug manufacturers and health authorities say no new human matter has been used since then to produce vaccines. The Catholic Church has told its members it is morally justifiable to use these vaccines, though it has urged healthcare developers to manufacture alternative treatments without "using cell lines of illicit origin". Jerome Kunke told WLWT-News he is upset about the ban, and especially what it means for his basketball team. "The fact that I can't finish my senior year in basketball, like, our last couple of games, it's pretty devastating," he said.  "I mean, you go through four years of high school playing basketball, you look forward to your senior year." A court hearing is scheduled for 1 April. Chickenpox is a highly contagious virus that causes blisters, itching and fever. Before a vaccine was created, about four millions Americans caught the disease each year, according to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Now only around 12,000 people catch it each year.

^ I believe that the parents of all the vaccinated children should now sue any unvaccinated person that is allowed to attend school. The only people that should be allowed to attend school or a public place that are not vaccinated are those that have medical issues that prevent them from getting the vaccines. Those that don't want to be vaccinated can be home-schooled or kept separate from the vaccinated. ^
