Condoms are only 98% effective, even with perfect use. That means that in a year, for every 100 people who use condoms as their only method of prevention, two of them will get pregnant.

Not even taking into account typical use (which results in closer to 12 pregnancies for every 100 people), 2 for every 100 of the hundreds of thousands of people that use condoms, is not "pretty much 100% effective". Please don't tell people that it is.
