HPV shot wasn''t tested or approved for men. Efficacy is not yet proven and people have died and had serious reactions from it.

Of course they want to chalk it up to lack of awareness or lack of health coverage or lack of money. How about maybe adults, who''ve seen their kids and grandkids injured by vaccines, have figured out that these vaccines are not SAFE? Maybe people don''t trust the CDC, FDA and drug companies. People have died from that new HPV shot, but you don''t see that on the (drug-company sponsored) evening news.

One vaccination I didn''t skip: the HPV vaccination...and I''m a guy! Screw the media for not promoting it among men. I''m sure there''s a huge lawsuit looming waiting to fall on whomever is behind that. All the guys who could avoid penile and anal cancer, not to mention genital warts.

Joyous88--I agree with you wholeheartedly. I have no health insurance so how in the world could I get any of these vaccines? No one is handing them out for free. I''d love to get the shingles one as I had it once in my eye and would love never to get it again. But since our government is owned by foreign governments and pharmaceutical and oil companies and a plethora of other special interests we will never see anything approaching reasonable and affordable healthcare. We need a Second American Revolution. Eat the rich!
