You're the one spreading misinformation. While yours might have gone smoothly, it's a medical procedure with real risks of complications, some of which are permanent, and not everyone has a good experience regardless the skills of their surgeon.
Nah, they stated,
with no further qualifications. That's misinformation. Many people have smooth and complication-free vasectomies; it's been a routine procedure for decades. Of course there are those who have unpleasant and complicated results, but that's not what they said. They just made the blanket statement that the procedures "don't go great". Perhaps they meant the procedures "can go poorly", but that isn't what they said.
You have me confused with someone else.
My mistake. My point is however unaffected.
Explain how your viewpoint is any different than the smooth brains who tell others not to get vaccinated because it'll give you autism or kill you.
Because mine is actually based on facts?
Any surgery has the potential for complications, and vasectomies have a non-negligible risk of life long testicular pain.
Nobody said the procedure is risk free. It's misinformation to claim that vasectomies never go well and arent simple procedures. For a vast majority of people, that's exactly what they are. Any medical procedure including vaccinations comes with a certain amount of risk. You're taking a miniscule risk and blowing it up into something that it isn't.
They said they don't go great, as in there's always going to be shitty things about it. Not that they never go well.
Seems like a pretty absolute statement with no room for alternatives to me.
