One thing this article makes it sound like is that 40% of those that get vasectomies also get PPA. The word "unusual" is used to describe PPA, but the word not used is "rare", which you'll find on the National Aphasia Association's website. Unfortunately there are not any figures regarding cases per thousand, ten thousand, million, etc. So how rare I could not find.

The fact is that PPA is "rare" and that of all those "rare" cases 40% also had a vasectomy. 60% did not have a vasectomy. Now, I also have to wonder what percentage of men get vasectomies. Is it about the same?

I think the media did a great disservice leaving this point out and sensationalizing the issue.
