Take a GOOD look...: ...punkrokk. This is a child with chickenpox. Chickenpox can KILL. It can also lead to brain damage, lung damage, seizures, and permanent disfigurement. Not just in your children, but in other children. It's MUCH WORSE if an unimmunized child gets it as an adult. They not infrequently wind up in the ICU or dead. Do you want that on your conscience?
