2,415 commenters told @CDCgov that neonatal #circumcision is unethical. This is the ENTIRE #CDC response (No. 66, p. 24): "The CDC recommendations take into account ethical considerations in addition to benefits and risk." #i2 #HisBodyHisChoice https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/pdf/risk/MC-HISA-Public-Comments-and-Responses.pdf …

Reminds me a lot of Sarah Sanders - repeating things hoping they’ll come true, or at least that reporters will just go away.

August 30th was the Thursday before the Labor Day weekend & arguably the day of the year most likely for any change to the
#CDC website to be overlooked by the US public & press. No press release or announcement. So they know it's nothing to be proud of.#i2#HisBodyHisChoice1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -
I'm confused. Has something changed regarding the CDC and circumcision? Last I heard they published a draft in 2014, it was universally rejected, and they did nothing ever since, basically abandoning it. Has something changed recently?

#CDC finalized the draft, notwithstanding the draft's nearly universal rejection by the int'l medical community (those w/out a personal need to justify#circumcision) & notwithstanding#CDC doing nothing to improve it.#i2#CDC gave responses to comments that are pathetic.2 replies 0 retweets 4 likes -
But it never moved beyond draft status, right? It was never adopted as official policy of the CDC, right? Or by "finalized" do you mean it is an official CDC policy now?

It sure looks pretty final & official to me, although it is far from clear why they're doing it now (i.e., what took them nearly 4 years). After waiting so long, you'd think they'd at least come up w/ a substantive answer to the ethical issues raised by thousands of commenters.

I think it still needs to get approved. Me thinks this has something to do with
@circmovie being released.#i21 reply 0 retweets 2 likes
With no press release or formal announcement it's difficult to say. Scary to see a gov't agency w/so much power have such poor public communication about its actions i/r/o child genital cutting.
@CDCDirector what are you doing on #twitter if not to explain this major screw up?
