Peoples stupidity isn't an argument against medical and scientific advancement, it's an argument against stupid people. I've had relationships with people on the pill but still used condoms because we weren't tested.

Which is why any GP prescribing the pill to women advise regular STD and pregnancy tests. To make sure everything is ticking over properly.

Cancer treatment can kill you, anti-depressants can cause suicide, painkillers can cause headaches/death ...
These things happen only in exceedingly rare cases and almost always when they're over prescribed or abused in some way. I've said it once and I'll say it again: this drug is not even out yet. It hasn't reached a stage where they can say "this works 99.9% of the time exactly as intended with no significant side effects". It won't be released until such a time as this is.
Your point about being **** scared of needles is personal to yourself and fair enough but not applicable to the majority of people who would think about using such a drug.
Your point about potential negative side effects are based on pure conjecture regarding a non-existent drug (by merit of the fact that regardless of whether or not such drugs are in development stages, none have been released to mass market) with no basis nor providence of sources to back up your assertions.
Your point about prevalence of STDs is negated by the fact that people using the pill or any other form of long term contraceptive which would include such a drug, should only be doing so without condoms if they're in a long term mutually exclusive relationship.
If you're having a one night stand or "casually" dating somebody you should be using a condom. If you're only have sex with one person, and they're only having sex with you, and you're both tested and neither have STDs then and ONLY then should you think about stopping using condoms and relying on drugs as contraceptives. You can use the pill, the hook or whatever else as back up with somebody you're in a casual relationship with in case the condom splits, but
because of STDs you should not stop using the condom until you're only boinking one another. Any divergence from this is caused by poor sexual education or sheer stupidity.
