Is it really too much to ask that jewish leaders with herpes not put their mouths on chilren's penises after cutting them? Wow.

Maybe we're just making mountains out of mohels though.

Not at all what the article says. The herpes connection has nothing to do with the act of circumcision, and was a review of individual case studies, not an overall rate.

I stand corrected, it's totally not weird for some old dude to suck a baby dick and this hasn't resulted in transmission of disease. Well done.
