[[File:Davidpakanrebelwisom2019.png|thumb|Pakman in 2019]]
'''{{FULLPAGENAME}}''' ({{LifeData|birth=1984-02-02|birthplace=Buenos Aires|birthcountry=Argentina|death=|deathplace=|}}) was born into an Ashkenazi Jewish family and presumably was [[circumcised]] in accordance with the [[Abrahamic covenant]], most likely by a [[mohel]] on the eighth day of his life. We now understand that infant [[Brit Milah|circumcision]] is an [[Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)|adverse childhood experience]] and causes physical and psychic [[trauma]]. Pakman lost his [[foreskin]] in infancy so he has no personal experience of the functions and sensations of the foreskin. Pakman is a victim of circumcision.
==Effects of trauma==
In his adult life he became a television journalist and political pundit. His usual subject matter is American politics.
He has turned from his usual political fare to do promotional videos for non-therapeutic [[circumcision ]] of boys. In these videos he has closely adhered to the [[Bias| biased]] advocacy positions of the [[medical trade association| medical trade associations]], which promote the income and welfare of doctors.
* In one video he praised the 2012 Circumcision Policy Statement<ref name="aap2012">{{REFjournal
|DOI=10.1542/peds.2012-1989
|format=PDF
}}</ref> of the [[American Academy of Pediatrics]] (AAP), which is a [[medical trade association]]. He is seemingly unaware that the 2012 AAP statement has received [[American_Academy_of_Pediatrics#Criticism| severe and unrelenting critical comment from both domestic and foreign sources and ]], so was allowed to expire without being reaffrimedreaffirmed, because it was so bad.
* In another video, he praised the 2015 Circumcision Policy Statement<ref name="cps2015">{{REFjournal
}}</ref> of the [[Canadian Paediatric Society]] (CPS), was was based on the hopelessly flawed 2012 AAP statement, seemingly unaware that the CPS is another [[medical trade association]].
* In a third video, he quoted from the work of Australian Professor [[Brian J. Morris]], Ph.D., whose claims has have been rejected in his own home nationof [[Australia]]. Morris is another traumatized victim of infant [[circumcision]], who has followed a similar pattern of promoting injurious, non-therapeutic [[circumcision]].
* In a fourth video, he absurdly claimed that circumcision does not reduce [[foreskin sensitivity| sexual sensitivity]]. This is a mistake that only a man [[circumcised]] in infancy and in '''''denial of loss''''' could make— again similar to Brian J. Morris.
Pakman, so far, has produced nine videos in which he promotes the official stance of the [[circumcision industry]]. Pakman's behavior is representative of the behavior of men deeply affected by the [[pain]] and [[trauma]] of infant non-therapeutic circumcision. He appears to be engaged in '''''denial of loss''''' from his own circumcision.
