I don’t at all understand why a mohel that has active sores must be doing brisin. This is a very easy to check and if only those without active sores would do brisin there wouldn’t be any problem. Frankly I would not want a mohel with this active sores performing MBP on my son, and there is absolutely no reason that we must insist that a mohel in this condition be allowed to do brisin.

And this is what the whole issue is about, the argument that its “impossible” for this virus to be transmitted through MBP, so therefore we don’t care what kind of condition the mohel is in. Why must we insist that its impossible for the virus to be transmitted and what do we gain from this.

And the fact is that it is possible for the virus to be transmitted through MBP.

It is common knowledge that people should not kiss a baby when they have active sores, so this certainly should apply to MBP.
