Talk:Daniel T. Halperin

Book bromotion on Washington Post

Halperin "insisted that the two most important factors in understanding and reducing the spread of AIDS through African societies were sexual behavior and male circumcision." Other experts saw numerous other reasons for the spread of AIDS, and Halperin "made a career of telling people that most of what they think they know about HIV is wrong."

Anonymous submission

Daniel Halperin is at Harvard. I was speaking to friend who worked there and he said he hates Harvard, because everyone there is just into "the latest big money, big funded idea" and they don't really care about debating anything, just kissing ass for money.

Halperin is not a medical doctor. His PhD is in Anthropology and Latin American Studies.

His CV says:
1999-2001 University of California AIDS Research Program Grant #K99-SF-167 (“A Neglected HIV Risk Factor: The Male Circumcision Decision”), $100,000, Principal Investigator; survey, hospital record, and ethnographic study of the practice and acceptability of neonatal circumcision services at San Francisco General Hospital.--Anonymous (March 7th 2011)

Halperin recommends Circlist, & Vernon's site

Video

Halperin was seen in this pro-circumcision video that talks about "benefits" but doesn't once mention the function of the foreskin (typical bullshit).--Thedirt 17:49, 14 October 2011 (CDT)

It also doesn't talk about what his connection with medicine or even circumcision is. He's just an "expert" everyone is supposed to trust. Who is he? What does he do? Why does he care?Orly21 06:21, 15 October 2011 (CDT)
