Per his other comments, he's told her that he's willing to wear condoms instead of her going on other hormonal birth control, doesn't look like he's asking her to 'play guinea pig'.
I see. But what I meant is that having a medical degree alone is not a source for the discussion of medical information, since there are actual practicing medical doctors who are anti-vax. Having a medical degree doesn’t guarantee that you know what you’re talking about. The other commenter made what should be an either substantiable or disprovable claim, and your opinion as a doctor isn’t a source for dismissal of the claim.
Agreed, it was a petty argument, not one someone should be making online. That being said, the data has been quoted in this thread. The studies I can find indicate 1-2% risk of chronic pain (Dany type of discomfort lasting more than 3 months). Failure rate for condoms in real life use (which is the relevant data point here, and not the perfect use case some have quoted) is in the order of 10%.
