And he is still at it with the lies and misinformation. His website repeats one of his favorites about hiv and circumcision:
"The South Africa, Kenya, and Uganda findings don't explain how 450,000 US men who were cut at birth have died of AIDS"
As has been pointed out before:
1. There are NO data on how many cut (or uncut) men in the USA have died of AIDS. Nobody records such information. Low just pulls the number out his fat ass.
2. The only relevant AIDS deaths are those involving sexual transmission, not other common modes like IV drug use. And even then only certain forms of sexual transmission matter. If you got infected by being screwed in the ass, having or not having a foreskin won't make any difference. So his number of cut men who have died is even more bogus.
3. The total number of AIDS deaths of circumcised or uncircumcised tells us nothing, especially as they may be affected by their relative population sizes. The real question is, which are more likely to get infected? And all the research, including random controlled trials, shows beyond any question that uncircumcised men are much more likely to get infected. The mode of transmission, via the Langerhans cells of the foreskin, is well established.
4. To show the absurdity of his argument, just look at this factual statement about some countries where practically all men are uncircumcised:
"Almost all the men who have died of AIDS in Finland, Argentina, and China were uncircumcised from birth." Hmmm... what do you conclude from that, Mr Low?
None of this is hard to grasp. But Low keeps pushing this bullshit. The question is:
Does Low do it because is he so STUPID, or because he is so DISHONEST?
