Maybe... and if it is, it just leads to another question:why does being infertile make you less vulnerable to Chicken pox? or any other kids disease.

Have you tried researching this on your own? One reason you have not received much help is because the answer to your question is easily found on the net. Coming here with a question like this that obviously indicates zero work on your part will not garner many responses.

I did, and I haven't found anything...
 
There is no published link between chickpox and infertility. A complication of chickpox is Varicella pneumonia, which occurs more often in adults than children. I'm not sure why the infection would be more severe in adults.
