False and propaganda from the religious alt right. Also look at how close those dates are. Sounds like a paid-for "science" campaign. If there was a valid medical reason against not circumcising, I'd probably have heard about it by now.

(And yes, in individual cases, a medical circumcision is required, but not for hygiene or STD prevention, and it can never be a general guideline. The damage (loss of nerve sensation, lack of lubrication) is a much bigger problem, including for the female partner.).

What is their play here? Do they have something to gain by men getting circumcised?
