Vaccines to reduce the risk of STDs

[JackGats]

Since we have a disciple of RFK Jr. on this forum who fights a losing battle against vaccines, I thought I'd do the opposite. Today I got two off-label vaccine shots at Bangkok Pattaya Hospital.

 

Brexsero is a vaccine against meningitis B that gives you a 40% protection against that ruiner of the Pattaya lifestyle: gonorrhea. Two shots 6 months apart in Thailand, though the US recommendation for gonorrhea is three shots.

 

Gardasil is a vaccine against HPV routinely administered to young women. It give good protection against genital warts. Two shots 3 months apart.

 

Both take a bit of convincing on you part especially if you are above 60. I hate this "not recommended for over 45" charade. It only means big pharma were too lazy to test their stuff on the elderly. There's also more money to be made out of the young since they're likely to be still around when boosters are needed.

Banged loads over the past 20 years, no condoms, caught nothing.

Why would you even consider HPV vaccine, a disease that has no serious consequences for men and only effective for 3 out of 20 HPV strains?

This is a good reason to protect others against you. Others who do not know better. What is your excuse?

My excuse is, I have an immune system that seems to work pretty well, so why risk it?

Gardasil 9, means 9 strains. ChatGPT tells me this vaccines protects against "HPV 6 and 11, which are responsible for approximately 90% of genital warts". Genital warts = awful disease. My brother went twice on the operating theater (general anesthesia) in order to have warts lasered off from the urethra.

 

Note that not catching anything doesn't mean, alas, not passing on anything. Many STDs are symptomatic in some people.

We are living in a completely reckless and stupid society where people make conclusions for their own good and bad, and as long there is few self experienced consequences, the stupidity continues. 

 

You do not understand you risk other people's health by being egoistic?

Are you trolling? Or are you serious? If you are serious, you are one sad person.  Do you know sex causes pregnancy? And unprotected sex transits disease?

 

Wow, it constantly amazes me how unthinking some of the punters are out there. Un ferkin' believable. How many girls have you knocked up? Or are you shootin' blanks?

 

How often do you test yourself for HIV? 

 

You know unprotected sex is not inconsequential.

 

There are laws about knowingly spreading serious diseases. Guys who are knowingly infected can be prosecuted for spreading disease in most civilized countries.

Your lack of knowledge is astounding, almost as astounding as your stupidity about having unprotected sex, and for your information, HPV in men can result in throat cancer (remember Michael Douglas and what he said about HPV).

I think that's from sucking other mens infected parts.

So not a danger for me, although you may be at risk.

No. I'll leave that to you as you're so good at it.

But I love reproducing and am happy for as many DNA tested kids as I can manage.

Of course he did!

But I wouldn't do that either, there's no telling where those cats have been.
