It has the feel of something poorly done b/c rushed, as if doing it right was far less imp't than just getting it done to please a certain overpaid new boss - one who has a sad history of opposition to condoms as an HIV control measure.

It's pure cherry picking. On the one hand, they say the experiences of poor African men circumcised as adults are relevant to infant boys in the US - when they think they like those experiences...
#i2 -
But comments by European MDs about ethics - which are universal - are dismissed b/c (they say) what happens outside US is unimportant to the US. Parochial, biased nonsense.
#i2 -
Except when it comes to those trials in Africa. Then they can apply the results of those studies sparingly.

I went on
@CDCgov website & was asked to complete a survey. Have a look at some examples of#CDC questions & my answers. As 21.1.1 demonstrates, even their survey questions include false, objectionable & insulting assumptions.#i2@CDCDirector@AmerAcadPeds#tweetiatricianpic.twitter.com/C8RDzJjpDo

I just read half of the document and ... It would be funny if the consequence wasn't to maim people.
-
Yes, I mean ... I was really surprised at how blatantly they just ignored the peer review from Van Howe. They would skip six pages of criticism and just say, "Our review was evidence based." Pure rhetoric, absolutely no attempt to actually address the criticisms. Astonishing.
-
They only look for studies that confirm their biases. It's the opposite of critical thinking.
-
Yes. Their bias being willful ignorance, bad medical practices, egregious human rights violations, & money. It's all so sick.

One of the many fatal flaws with the RCTs is failure to do anything to determine whether condoms were actually being used by anyone (though they thumbed the scales by giving extra safe sex counseling to the circumcised men) & whether there was any IV needle transmission.

The CDCgov response shows how biased they are. I’m sure there are NO Intact men on the committee. They show no respect to men as having a Right to their bodily Autonomy. They take a very cynical view by saying in effect men can’t control their sexual urges.
-
Seems doubtful intact men participated. But it's clear
@CDCDirector has a lack of concern for individual rights & an unscientific, Victorian hostility toward sex & proven methods of preventing STD/HIV transmission (e.g. condoms) that'd make Kellogg proud.https://www.cnn.com/2018/05/13/opinions/trumps-terrible-choice-for-cdc-redfield-garrett/index.html …

And completely ignore the fact that America has the highest number of circumcised men of any 1st world nation AND the highest rate of HIV/AIDS infection of any 1st world nation. Boggles the mind how they skip over that.
