Chicken Pox is a harmless right of passage as a child. Better to get it young than old when it has serious complications. I don’t know why we need a vaccine for this except for adults who missed it as children.

Quoting from the CDC at https://www.cdc.gov/chickenpox/surveillance/monitoring-varicella.html https://www.cdc.gov/chickenpox/surveillance/monitoring-varic... : "In the early 1990s, an average of 4 million people got varicella, 10,500 to 13,000 were hospitalized (range, 8,000 to 18,000), and 100 to 150 died each year."
