Italian politician opposed to mandatory vaccination of children is hospitalised with chicken pox | |
2019-03-22 | |
[EURONEWS] Some would call it karma. An Italian far-right politician who opposed making some vaccines for children mandatory has contracted chicken pox, according to reports by Italian media. Massimiliano Fedriga, a member of the right-wing League party was hospitalised earlier this month with the highly contagious chicken pox infection, which causes an itchy rash with red fluid-filled blisters. Fedriga was placed under observation for four days, said La Repubblica.
![]() The law came into effect last week and will fine parents up to €500 if they send unvaccinated children to school. Children under six who are in a nursery or kindergarten can be completely turned away under the new law. The ruling Five Star Movement was for a long time opposed to making school vaccination requirements mandatory. Last year, the party threatened to overturn Italia's vaccination laws but later backed down on the issue. | |

#2 He had his own children vaccinated for chicken pox. He was against the mandatory part not the vaccination. the MSM jornolista is so quick to try and tar a right-wing politician they just make asses of themselves. |

#1 I don't have a problem with mandatory vaccinations, HOWEVER, it does seem like a policy that could lead to all sorts of other government mandates, no? Here be their monsters. |
