@DOGE is now looking at waste, fraud, and abuse within @CMSGov, which administers Medicaid. Write to DOGE@mail.house.gov now and urge them to end Medicaid coverage of infant circumcision!

We uncovered data showing that Medicaid was billed nearly $37 billion between 1999-2016 for non-therapeutic infant circumcisions. It is unlawful for Medicaid to be used on unnecessary treatment. End the funding for circumcision now! circumcisionisafraud.com/foi…

The desire to update the AAP's policy may have come from within the CDC. These emails show @PeterKilmarx prioritized Medicaid coverage after the AAP's 1999 policy led 16 states to drop it. So in 2007, the CDC wanted AAP to "change their recommendations." 1drv.ms/b/s!Ak3Qe-X3Jbyog58e…

...circumcision, but by the journals I judge that the acme of that fad has not been reached. I wish to be numbered among the pioneers who protest against the indiscriminate circumcision of male infants."

Brian Morris, the world's foremost circumcision enthusiast, works with a network of proponents to publish pro-circumcision literature and respond venomously to skeptics. In this email chain, Morris characterizes these efforts as a "war" between good and evil.

One of his acolytes, Richard Wamai, describes their efforts as "defending science" and insinuates that circumcision skeptics have an "anti-science agenda". Wamai also thanks Morris for encouraging him to take the lead on writing this: malecircumcision.org/sites/d…

Is this him on this panel of people ignoring the ethical quagmire of circumcision? Africa needs Prep, not mutilation. x.com/PunchUpPress/status/17…

Here is a little window into how the medical literature can get biased by controversial opinions disguised as 'systematic reviews' for anyone interested. I'll walk you through an example. Take this highly cited review article in the flagship @jsexmed sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Breaking News. New Hampshire Health & Human Services Committee passed HB1683 to stop state sponsored genital mutilation via Medicaid. It's a huge win at 14-6 in favor. The bill now goes to the entire House for a vote. Thank you @NHRepPhillips #circumcision #i2 #bodilyautonomy
