Ronald Gray is a North American circumcision proponent and biased researcher looking for justifications to roll-out mass circumcision programs around the world. He headed one of the three RCTs being used by the WHO to endorse circumcision as HIV prevention.[1] At their clinic, a music video promoting circumcision plays continuously.[2][3] He sometimes goes by the name Ron.[4]
Ronald Gray's RCT
Of the three RCTs being used by the WHO to promote circumcision as HIV prevention, Gray supervised the RCT that was carried out in Uganda.[5] Two other RCTs were supervised by Robert C. Bailey and Bertran Auvert respectively. All three RCTs were funded by the American National Institutes of Health.[6]
In 2010,[7] and again in 2011,[4] Gray published studies with Brian J. Morris.
Quotes
| “ | We've never used surgery to prevent an infectious disease. It's a completely new concept, a new paradigm. How can we train all the surgeons to do this procedure and equip them. – Ronald Gray (JohnsHopkinsSPH)[8] |
| “ | It's been hard to change policy, because this is a whole new paradigm. We've never used surgery to prevent an infectious disease. Policy makers have to really take some time to wrap their minds around it. – Ronald Gray (JohnsHopkinsSPH)[9] |
| “ | It's taken longer than I would like to see these programs emerge. – Ronald Gray (JohnsHopkinsSPH)[10] |
| “ | The Latest Fight Over Foreskin If you were to ask me, should the U.S. be promoting circumcision, my answer would be, ‘no,’ What I do think ought to be the policy is that parents should be informed about the potential protective effects. – Ronald Gray (N.Y. Times)[11] |
