        The researchers seem to be clear: “We strongly support universal circumcision of all HIV-men in SA, because it is known with certainty that circumcision biologically protects against HIV — based on three large well-conducted randomised controlled trials."

        Well, the researchers are clear in what they believe; they aren’t clear in terms of critical thinking though; their position is super dogmatic. The RCTs did not test ‘biological’ protection & even if they had, clinical efficacy =/= real world effectiveness

        Unless there's a biological, lab-tested proof that any part of the foreskin is more susceptible to HIV than all other parts of the penis, these studies can only be seen as affirming the local culture, which already had #circumcision as a practice.

        Isn't the HIV epidemic in the US a "natural experiment" for that hypothesis?

        If by claim, you mean “deliberate lie,” and by “wrong” you mean “despicably atrocious,” I’d say yes.

        This article clearly shows that no matter the science the cutters plan to circumcise 2 million men and boys in So Africa. They believe 100% cutting prevents men from acquiring the Virus.

        Controlling population size is a worry as food and fresh water will be issues in coming decades.
