Guys, man up and get vaccinated: HPV is your responsibility

Article here. Excerpt:

'The human papillomavirus is a man's issue.

That's undeniable after Monday's release of a new report that revealed that half of American men might be infected with human papillomavirus . Until then, HPV was thought by most to be a woman’s virus because it causes cervical cancer. That was never true; HPV, which is spread through sexual contact, should always have been as much a male concern as a female concern.
...
The vaccines, a miracle of cancer prevention, were approved for females and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. When they were approved for boys and men ages 9-26, the news was largely met with “Why bother? Women can get the vaccination.” Now, though, it’s obvious to everyone that HPV is a male issue, too. So get vaccinated or if you are the parent of a boy, have him vaccinated (parents of girls should have them vaccinated too, of course).'

First they made a vaccine for HPV that neglected men and boys from the start. Then they lied by omitting that the vaccine protects against HPV strains that also cause penile, throat, and oral cancer.

Now they want to treat men like disease vectors and shame us into getting the vaccine? Perhaps it would be an idea to treat our health issues seriously. And they should stop lying about the full beneficial effects of the vaccine.

In Canada, schools give out the vaccine to all female students, but have rejected the idea of giving it to male students. My doctor was telling me about this months ago.
