As you suggest, the logic is turned on its head...<br /><br />Re male circumcision causing an improvement in sex, when aidsmap reported a Krieger randomised study a few years back they noted that results were kind of weird...most enrolled in the trial found their pre-existing sexual problems got better (including those who were left intact). Aidsmap commented that "This unexplained finding may be due to men wishing to please investigators"... <br /><br />http://www.aidsmap.com/Circumcision-will-halve-HIV-rates-but-may-take-decades-to-reach-full-impact/page/1431119/<br /><br />It says so much about the RCTs generally... America comes to town and picks a group of mainly unemployed black men to get them involved in the big new thing, pays them for participation and to recruit their friends. America said jump and Africa said, 'how high?'Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-548248685729133691.post-15781835902124159632011-07-20T11:42:34.801-07:002011-07-20T11:42:34.801-07:00Change 'microbes' to 'pathogens'.Change 'microbes' to 'pathogens'.Tom Riddlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12994425531096864789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-548248685729133691.post-54420498995637325952011-07-20T11:34:59.711-07:002011-07-20T11:34:59.711-07:00Every time I read about this I find it more and mo...Every time I read about this I find it more and more unbelievable, more and more disgusting. I remember when they published the original study in New Scientist and I read it; then, I thought "Wow! That's so simple - snip a little bit off the end and we can solve the world's AIDS problem." Seriously, that's what I thought. Over the years of course, I've realised that yes, it is simple - too simple. That's why it doesn't work. Now, I've basically lost all faith in the credibility, objectivity and scientific ability of the 'experts' who come out with this stuff. At risk of sounding up-myself, I reckon I (with my two science A levels) could actually come up with something must better researched, studied and analysed then this bunch seem to be able to do. It is becoming increasingly clear to me that they are lacking the basic skills required for scientific enquiry. They can't even seem to reason logically. It is deeply disturbing. Whether driven by the lure of fame, fortune and recognition or simply by their own unconscious psychological issues and ingrained, culturally blinkered ideas, the fact is that they are ignoring ethics and facts to promote something that is neither effective nor morally justified. I just hope that Intact America, their supporters and the others can stop this before what will likely become one of the greatest human rights atrocities of the century (and it's only just begun) gets out of hand. Man, I despair sometimes.<br /><br />Anyways, rant over...Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06394591085976426966noreply@blogger.com
