Nuh-uh, you don't get to change your claim now. This is your original comment:

Several times now you have said that circumcision lowers STDs and cancer, you can't now try to weasel yourself out of it by claiming "I've never said it was all because of circumcision!"

You are WILDLY confused. I have in fact said it lowers STD and cancer.. because it does. I have never said I didnt. The comment you just posted doesnt show me saying I didnt.

The claim was made that if it lowered the rates of those things, why arent the overall rates in countries without circumcision higher than the US. I pointed out that it doesnt work that way. You cant directly compare rates of STIs (from context: in different countries, overall, the thing the person I was responding to was doing) and say anything is due to circumcision because there are many other factors.

then you went yet you keep doing that. Because apparently youre lost. I pointed out u didnt. Now youve come back to make the exact same mistake again because youve somehow conflated lowering std occurence rates with comparing overall std rates between countries.

I even did the math for you. 100-2 vs 10-0 the 2 is still the bigger decrease even though the end result, the std rate, is higher. Somehow you still got confused.

Now you wont shut up about it and hilariously think Im changing my claim when Ive been consistent.
