Starting in 1983, he began to produce a series of egregiously flawed studies that falsely claimed circumcision reduced the incidence of urinary tract infections.[4][5][6][7][1] All have long since been thoroughly discredited.[8][9] Wiswell associates with the Gilgal Society,[10] a circumfetish group.[11][12]

Wiswell has allied himself with Brian Morris and other circumcision advocates since 2009. He co-authors articles with Brian Morris and others.[13]

Quotes

“ Easy Money
I have some good friends who are obstetricians outside the military, and they look at a foreskin and almost see a $125 price tag on it. Each one is that much money. Heck, if you do 10 a week, that's over $1,000 a week, and they don't take that much time.
– Wiswell (1987-6-22) (The age-old question of circumcision. Boston Globe, p.43)
