* The statement cites [[bias]] filled papers from [[Brian J. Morris]] and his colleagues.

* The statement provides outmoded and inaccurate information regarding protection from [[HIV]].
* The statement cites the [[American Academy of Pediatrics]] 2012 position statement on circumcision that was allowed to expire in 2017 due to its huge number of deficiencies.
* The statement fails to provide essential information on the protective, immunological, sensory, and sexual functions of the [[foreskin]] which are destroyed by circumcision.* The statement fails to state that parental surrogate consent is limited to diagnosis and treatment of disease, which cannot include non-therapeutic infant [[circumcision]].<ref name="myers2020">{{REFjournal
