      I live in the United States. So we have one statement from 2004 and one from 2012. What do they say all of the other years? Just to be clear, you see no benifits to male circumcision?

      There is a clear international medical consensus: in the absence of compelling medical need (which is almost never the case) the harms & risks of infant #circumcision far outweigh its supposed benefits. #i2 https://www.littleimages.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Cultural-Bias-in-the-AAPs-2012-Technical-Report-and-Policy-Statement-on-Male-Circumcision.pdf …https://www.researchgate.net/publication/316527603_Cultural_bias_in_American_medicine_the_case_of_infant_male_circumcision …

      This is clearly a critique of the medical consensus. Why would you present a critique of a consensus as evidence that the consensus isn't the consensus.

          7/11 any ability to view skeptically (as any scientist should) the assumption that #circumcision is beneficial & not harmful. The predetermined aim of the AAP task force was to protect circumcision as an "option" for parents - i.e., they assumed it should be a parental option.
