Default Re: Men: Scary News If You Had a Vasectomy

One thing I learned very well in graduate school is that numbers can be made to say just about anything, depending on how you phrase the questions.

Any "connection" between vasectomies and PPA could very well be random chance. Dr. Weintraub even admitted that the study was small and that "it's the kind of news that ends up scaring people even though they may not need to be scared," Yet that didn't stop her from broadcasting the idea and getting all kinds of publicity for it. Hmmm.....

Further, once you make any kind of a connection it's not all that hard to find some theory to explain it, no matter how ludicrous. Since no one has yet disproven the theory, it will get even more press coverage. Hmmmm.....

This is why I don't watch the news anymore. I wouldn't take it too seriously.
