That's what I meant, though. How did they not catch it as a kid?
--- End quote ---
...by just not catching it? Pretty sure I never did.

You might want to be more careful with your choice of words.

I did not catch that, but it might be because English is not my native language. Sorry if it was used in a wrong context.
--- End quote ---
Oh no, it's perfectly correct, if slightly archaic, English. It is, however, bad American; where "privilege" is stigmatised you naturally get push-back when you tell people they have it. Modern usage would suggest "it is their right" instead.

I never caught chicken pox and I spent my whole childhood either at my public elementary school or at my home full of day care kids. I didn't realize you needed chicken pox before being initiated into adulthood...? Is it that uncommon not to get it?

Chicken pox as an adult is or can be shingles, which is more serious - that's why it's best to get it as a child and build up immunity. I think my uncle got shingles despite having had chicken pox as a kid though, so it's not foolproof.
