Kentucky's antivax Republican Governor Matt Bevin said in a radio interview today that he exposed his children to chickenpox intentionally so they would catch the highly contagious disease, and become immune. Bevin was on Bowling Green radio station WKCT earlier today, and revealed that his kids were "miserable for a few days" after they got chickenpox, and "they all turned out fine." Bevin and wife Glenna have nine children, four of whom are adopted. Governor Bevin said parents who fear their children will contract chickenpox and want to have their children vaccinated should do so, but that government should not mandate vaccination. From the USA Today-affiliated Courier-Journal in Kentucky: In the interview, Bevin also suggested that the government stay out of mandating vaccines.
