An Australian mum whose plans to hold a "chickenpox party" for anti-vaccination parents has horrified medical professionals, but the mother-of-two says she has no plans to back down on her offer.
Hollie Singleton invited parents to bring their children around after she learned her son had been diagnosed with the disease, Daily Mail Australia reports.
"If anyone wants to clear this bug now and get it over with please come to Brisbane and visit us," she wrote on Facebook. "We are here to infect only those who want it!"
A child health expert, Dr Sam Hay, told Channel 9's Today Show these types of parties were very concerning.
"You are exposing those children to potential complications. You're exposing them to - when they're adults - shingles and chronic pain," he said.
