This is the debate about circumcision - it's more important than politics.

Damn bro, you've got what it takes to be a mod, since you do this in like every thread.
Maybe you should apply?

I know the answer is probably yes, but is it really too much to ask people to not post about politics when it's explicitly not allowed? There's a history on here of it leading to things going to shit.

 

[Hookshot]

Wonder if circumcised people are more likely to become Trans then?

 

[DeepEnigma]

Ah yes. "cleverly" written headline to pin blame on political polarization when all they're doing is bringing Harvard studies and the like into the light that were either suppressed or talked about briefly and then moved on from quite swiftly.

Example:

You don't hate legacy MSM enough. Notice how they write these hit-pieces by committee now.

 

[DirtInUrEye]

Why even give anything this embarrassing old fart has to say the time of day. What a joke.

 

[Burning Blade]

It's genital mutilation plain and simple. Many baby boys die yearly due to this procedure. It's barbaric and fucking stupid.
Edit: I didn't read the thread thoroughly. I'm circumcised and also a moron so it must be true.

The Harvard study showed "evidence of an association" but needs/needed a lot more follow up to come to conclusions.

Larger studies have sort of debunked that though.

Hence.. you know… science.

The reporting you are screenshotting there mentions exactly that lol. One of the authors of that study was also shocked by the way it was presented by the administration.

Yes. Now how about them headlines!

"Trust the science™" <--- glad this is being retired and we are all of a sudden back to what we were always supposed to do, and that is constantly question through the scientific method.

Ironic, really. I wonder what changed? (rhetorical)

And "sort of debunked," also means it's "sort of not debunked." Even the brand maker says not to take that shit during pregnancy or child development. Only thing that's changed, is how the headlines are presenting the message in current year.

There might be some effect of Tylenol usage, there might be some impact from circumcision that is unrelated to Tylenol.
What should be abundantly clear is that there is no one cause of autism, or if there is we have no idea what it is.
If RFK had come to us with an abundance of evidence then I think people would be overjoyed that we could begin to reduce autism in new births - but what he has presented is one meta study by a guy who gets paid to say Tylenol causes autism and two circumcision studies that don't mention Tylenol at all.

A much larger study found no association between Tylenol and Autism diagnosis is all I meant.

As if we needed another reason to cut it out regarding politics and circumcision.

he is often against stuff I am also against... but always for the most retarded ass reasons man.

circumcision on babies should be illigal in any modern civilised country, because it's barbaric... not because of his made up retarded ass nonsense

It's not conclusive. It's the issue of it being combined with vaccine cycles which they do warn against for how it reacts.

Doesn't change the fact that legacy MSM is doing a disservice to the population with their headlines. Per usual.

 

[Darkmakaimura]

So that's why so many of us Jews are autistic!

I agree with you that headlines to articles are an issue, because in this image, one of these is a declarative statement and the other is not. Yet when the general public sees an image like that both are being received as declarative.

This is a depressing disconnect, but at some point journalists will have to stop assuming that all audiences read and comprehend everything the exact same way when they make these articles. It probably will not happen within this decade nor the next, and that's why I read try to read the fine print on most things first before having any impressions.

Don't you mean cut it off?

journalists' job is not to inform people, but to shape their opinion and form a narrative.

Today's journalists? Yes, I'd say maybe over 70% worldwide do this. The older ones were not ready for social media and the newer ones are unfortunately playing by today's rules.

No, always. It's always been like this.
