I trust my doctor ... he's not some quack. I've looked online (multiple times over the years) and he's simply applying federal guidelines.
Family members have died from cervical cancer so I get it. I also made sure my younger children received this vaccine.
There a ton of vaccines I could seek out. Why HPV specifically?

Assuming you are not commenting in bad faith, my reasons are in my original comment: "I do not want to expose women to a potentially deadly virus (plus I’d also like to avoid having penile cancer and mouth/throat cancer myself)."
- pyuser583 1y agoAnd I really don’t either. Close relatives have died from cervical cancer. I care about it a lot. Ideologically it feels weird, but when the doctor says it’s not recommended, what do I say? I’ve never fallen in the recommended categories. I’ve been to doctors overseas where I do fall in the recommended categories, but even they say to follow the advice off my “home practitioner.” And while I’m at it, how do I generalize the ethics behind this? Which medicines should I ignore doctors advice and take anyway?
