~~Walenksky~~ is both American and Jewish. She is married to a Jewish American man who is most likely circumcised. She has three sons who are most likely [[circumcised]] because of being American, Jewish, and having a probably circumcised father who may have [[adamant father syndrome]], so she definitely has two sources of bias and very likely has a third source of bias.

There is a fourth possible source of bias. Walenksky attended [[Johns Hopkins]] in Baltimore. Johns Hopkins is strongly financed by the [[Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation]]. Johns Hopkins is populated by people who have played a major role in promoting non-therapeutic circumcision ([[VMMC]]) in Africa. Johns Hopkins may fairly be said to be strongly biased in favor of circumcision.

The [[CDC]] has a strong bias in favor of circumcision that dates back at least to 2007, and predates Walensky's tenure of office. It appears that she has been fully occupied with the COVID19 mess at the CDC and has not yet tackled the [[HIV]] mess, so there seem to be no actions at this time which would indicate an opinion on HIV.
