Cherry-picking propaganda is a common strategy for anti-vaxxers, as well. The "study" you provided conveniently ignored the most common infection related to having an intact foreskin. The risks are highest among young boys.

Reposting the same article doesn't add to the conversation...it just reveals that you have nothing more to add. That article focuses on the least common forms of infection relating to the foreskin, while ignoring the most common. It is an intellectually dishonest attempt at invalidating the benefits of circumcision by cherry picking data to suit your narrative.

White nationalists have been using these types of studies for years now, in order to turn public opinion against immigrants. It's wildly disingenuous...but rather effective, as long as you choose not to look any deeper into the subject.
