Again the 60% reduction in HIV is mentioned as an absolute percentage which is a lie. It was a relative percentage and not even reliable. “The absolute reduction in HIV transmission associated with male circumcision for the three studies was only about 1.3%. The African studies had cited the relative reduction in HIV transmission, a misleading figure. Reports in the popular press have been even more misleading. Furthermore, there are at least 17 observational studies that have not found any benefit from male circumcision in reducing HIV transmission. Since condom use after male circumcision is essential to prevent sexual transmission of HIV, circumcision does not have any additional value.” bulawayo24.com/index-id-news-sc-health-byo-12360.html "Flawed Studies Used to Claim Circumcision Reduces HIV Infection" www.salem-news.com/articles/december112011/circumcision-hiv-rg.php
Wow a lot of nonsense, just to take one, most men in 'Africa are cut and were in 2013. Africa an North America are the only two continents where that is the case and remarkabnly consideriung the claims, have the highest rates of HIV/STDs in the world, in the case of the former and the highest in the developed world in the case of the latter.
A "no-brainer"? Yes, that's about right.
These studies that pro circumcision people and doctors talk about are written by the people who make a lot of money doing it.
Don't forget the cosmetic companies that buy the foreskins.
Sigh... The benefits of mutilation!?
Anyway, thanks for the upload. 👍
