If that is in fact the case, then arguments based on altruism are in fact the most valid as the prevention of the other diseases may not make economic sense.

Why do women always have to take the responsibility of using oral contraceptives? Why can't they make a birth control for men and they have to remember to take it everyday? Why does it always have to be the womens responsibility? I think it is a great idea to create the Gardasil vaccination for men and women. As long as they keep it as an option. Men should have the right to choose to receive this vaccination as well! If this does become mandatory... (which I hope not) vaccination then men need to carry the burden of receiving this very painful three shot series as well! This is the same question I have been asking myself for a long time.

HepB is an STD, yeah, and we're vaccinating 1-day old infants with it, which I don't think is right, either.

People just sometimes have a hard time looking at things like sex realistically and rationally.
