That is what the CDC says... older people have been exposed to enough HPV already that vaccines are not necessary. But it doesn't really make sense. There are many different varieties of HPV... gardasil 9 only protects against 9 of them I believe, but it tries to get a few of the most...

Right. Your reminder is good. Not disagreeing at all that it has dangers for everybody, but there's a reason why women get screened for it and men don't. Per the CDC, "Every year, about 19,400 women and 12,100 men experience cancers caused by HPV." My point is that if there is a safe and...
