Referring to a controversial New York Times article from April that quoted him as saying that the city was actively considering adult circumcision, Dr. Frieden said he had been misquoted by the reporter and that the city has no plans at this time to implement any strategy concerning circumcision—infant or adult. “The issue has gotten a lot more press a lot sooner than I hoped it would get.”
Dr. Frieden tried to reassure the crowd that he was only there to talk—and to listen—and that any policy change would occur only after many such meetings.
He’s trying to protect himself. he doesn’t want to seem anti-circumcision after his baseless attacks on metzitzah, so now he’s Mr Circumcision. Thomas Frieden is a medical ignoramous. Read up on neonatal herpes on Pubmed.gov search article by Kimberlin D. or Nahmias A or Kropp R. Everything that Frieden printed on metzitzah is contrary to 30 years of research in the field. He calls a “fits like a glove” textbook case of maternally transmitted herpes the mohels fault because he’s an ignoramous. Stay tuned. We put our money where our mouth is and hope to produce results in this area in 6-8 months.
