1. Few believe Gray in the US

    Dr. Gray, with his cohort, Dr. Tobian don't have a lot of credibility in the US.  They keep insinuating that circumcision is a vaccine for HIV.  Everybody knows it is not.  They are two circumcised guys, trying to create a medical justification for circumcision, which doesn't exist.

    Doctors have been doing this in the US since 1870.

    Circumcision has cured everything from paralysis, to epilepsy. Later, it was cervical cancer, and penile cancer.

    All of these have been disproven.  Now, it is on to the bigger scare, HIV.  These doctors ignore the facts.  Some facts they ignore are, the French and Danes don't circumcise, yet their infection rates are 1/10 those of the US, which has one of the highest circumcision rates in the world.  How does Gray account for that?  He doesn't.  New Zealanders no longer circumcise.  They enjoy one of the lowest HIV infection rates in the world.  Dr. Gray does not talk about that.
    In my opinion, Dr. Gray is a cutter, looking for a reason.

    American doctors are less likely to be sued, while quot;helping" Ugandans, than they are if they were doing the same thing in the US.
