Kentucky governor says he exposed his 9 children to chickenpox

Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin says he exposed his nine children to chickenpox rather than getting them vaccinated. He said on a radio show this week that he did it so they would catch it and become immune. Bevin said he does not support the state's mandatory chickenpox vaccine for children entering kindergarten. Parents can seek religious exemptions or prove the child was already infected.
