Wow, the infant mortality rates are still higher in the US than in those other countries who do NOT regularly sexually mutilate their children at birth. You'd expect the opposite from your assertion...
Infant health is better everywhere. Circumcision is listed nowhere as a factor for any of it. Pretty simple really. I’d argue that circumcision is safer now than ever.

"Not listed in my sources" is not the same as "isn't a factor". All it means is that your sources either missed it or didn't want to mention it. The source I've already provided you shows that there IS a connection whether your sources are aware or not:https://www.researchgate.net/publication/326040454_Factors_associated_with_early_deaths_following_neonatal_male_circumcision_in_the_United_States_2001-2010 …

StatsCan doesn’t have circumcision in their top 12 causes of infant death even, but I’ll keep looking for you........
-
Okay so just assuming you're not lying, are you saying everything that's not a top 12 cause of infant death doesn't matter? If some parents decided to shoot their kids in the leg with a gun at birth, and the death rate from that didn't make the top 12, you'd sign off on it?

I wish you read the thread from the start. Our friend’s argument suggested that Australia’s circ rate had a huge impact on infant mortality rates. That’s false.
-
You've given no proof that it's false, only conjecture based on a hand-picked list of institutions NOT mentioning it. That doesn't prove anything.
-
Lol. The burden of proof goes both ways my friend. Find a source that says circumcision is a major cause of infant death then will ya.

I already linked you a source that identified "1 early death for every 49,166 newborn inpatient circumcisions" https://www.researchgate.net/publication/326040454_Factors_associated_with_early_deaths_following_neonatal_male_circumcision_in_the_United_States_2001-2010 … A number that is certainly a gross underestimate since it ONLY counted cases where death occurred during the same hospital admission as the cut

Cases like this wouldn't count: https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2007/feb/17/religion.world1 … People have estimated the total impact outside that constraint and concluded ~117 deaths per year in USA alone: https://www.academia.edu/6394940/Lost_Boys_An_Estimate_of_U.S._Circumcision-Related_Infant_Deaths … You are trying to justify forcing unnecessary surgery on kids that causes this.
