Out of your 100 circumcised the total comes out to 222. How does that work out? The Not side only has 3. Who ever did the research doesn’t know how to lay out findings.

Some boys will have more than one type of negative reaction. It's not as if not readily breastfeeding and hemorrhaging are mutually exclusive.

I know that problem is the chart doesn’tshow that. So you don’t know how many had overlapping issues. And which ones overlapped. If you have to explain the chart it’s an issue.

The problem isn't the chart, which is readily understandable. The problem is that, in any rational & evidence-based analysis, the harms & risks of this unnecessary surgery outweigh the supposed benefits.

You turn a chart like that in were I work it would be dismissed. It doesn’t back up the claim that there are multiple overlaps. It shows that 222 people out of a supposed 100 had issues and only 3 on the non side were studied.

Either you (and your co-workers, I guess) don't understand the chart, or you are being disingenuous. They are percentages. 75 out of 100, 55 out of 100, etc. It's not 222 b/c it's not cumulative. The numbers on the "non" side are low only b/c so few intact boys have problems.

The chart says out of 100,correct? The numbers add up to 222 with no explanation of multiple incidents to 1 individual. Where I work you can’t go more th 15 feet without running into a PhD. The chart is horrible done. From that chart can you deduce how many people had multiple 1/

2/ailments and which multiple ailments happened? Take 35 will have post op hemorrhaging. How many of those will not breastfeed. You don’t know. It could be all at least 15 to maintain the 25 to reach 100. That’s why the chart is worthless.

Seems like your real problem with the chart is that no rational person weighing the pros and cons of circumcision would look at it & conclude circumcising an infant would be a good idea.

No it’s riddled with incomplete data. 75 kids won’t breastfeed. How many of thos 100 moms were going to breast feed? Also, anyone making a decision off a chart on twitter shouldn’t be making those kind of decisions.

Again, it's a percentage. Out of 100 boys circumcised, 75 don't readily breastfeed afterward & 25 do. 35 will have post-op hemorrhaging, 65 won't. There's a degree of overlap (10%-35%), but precisely how much is beyond the scope of the chart. Not 222 individuals. Percentages.

Same on the right side of the chart. It's not that "only 3 were studied" as you previously suggested. Those are percentages too. If you still don't get it, try talking to the PhDs at work. Or a 4th grade math teacher.
