→Pseudo-medical arguments: Then you may also not vaccinate children.
*: During the [[Circumcision Debate]] 2012 in Germany, a single Muslim children's surgeon from Cologne was repeatedly quoted<ref>http://www.rp-online.de/panorama/deutschland/arzt-fuerchtet-illegale-beschneidungen-aid-1.2895603 Doctor fears illegal circumcisions (German article)]</ref> who railed with exactly this stereotype and other abstruse arguments against an impending [[circumcision]] ban.
*: For many years, the medicine knows that the [[foreskin]] is a very important organg of the body that not only contains a large number of very sensitive nerve cells and is very beneficial for sex, but also protects the [[Glans penis|glans]] against drying, keratinization, and sunburn.
* '''"Then you may also not vaccinate children."'''
*: This argument is often used by staunch opponents of vaccination who want to indicate that also the syringes which are used for vaccination, are 'weapons', 'injure the child' and can harm the child. Of course, each violation of the body is legally a body violation (sic!). However, this argument compares a preventive measure that has gotten sucessfully epidemic, often fatal diseases under control since the end of the 19th century, with a usually medically unnecessary [[MGM|amputation of a healthy body part]]. The decision to allow or not vaccinate a child is within the discretion of the parents. There are no more mandatory vaccines any longer, which were common in the early days of the vaccines.
*: Vaccinations protect against (listed in historical sequence) smallpox, rabies, typhoid, diphtheria, whooping cough, tuberculosis, tetanus, influenza, yellow fever, polio, mumps, measles, rubella, encephalitis, chickenpox, pneumonia, hepatitis B, meningitis, Haemophilus influenzae type B, hepatitis A, severe diarrhea, cervical cancer, Japanese encephalitis, meningococcal type B.
*: Medically not indicated [[Circumcision|circumcision of children]] protects exactly against nothing.
