      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.

      Replying to @CircsUp @terraxa1 and

      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

      Replying to @KhazWolf @CircsUp and

      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.

      Replying to @KhazWolf @terraxa1 and

      Lol. “Estimated” data and selective sources. By your own logic, all day, these are BS. You should expect better of yourself considering the high bar you’ve established for fact and proof.

      Replying to @CircsUp @terraxa1 and

      I cited you original research from someone who directly went through case reports to compile a fact-based evaluation of the number of deaths that occurred in the same hospital admission as the circumcision, probably took years of work, and you dismiss it with "BS". Learn to read

      Replying to @KhazWolf @CircsUp and

      This conversation has turned into a classic example of the bullshit asymmetry principle. @KhazWolf is the only one citing real studies and numbers... I think @CircsUp's fallacy is refusing to recognize that any preventable cause of infant death should be avoided...

      BS? There a several acronyms you can consider when educating yourself or others on the benefits of circumcision. CPS, AAP, CDC, WHO are a few good ones but I hope you’re up to speed on those already.

      #i2 @AmAcadPeds @CDCgov @WHO are in general highly respected organizations, however on the subject of male circumcision there is evidence they are and have been called out by other equally respected medical organizations as culturally biased and susceptible to confirmation bias

      The science hasn’t changed regardless of the “tread lightly” approach of gov agencies. They still support the science and avoid the eggshells. UTI, STI, Cancer continue to be listed as benefits.

      #i2 I get u r invested in circumcision bec of your values & circumcision status, you probably have good intentions, but your beliefs are based on confirmation bias & willful ignorance, you cannot accept modern medicine makes circ obsolete, that circ harms, and foreskin valuable
