nishtdayngesheft -“Health,I can hardly believe you would try to pass yourself of as a health professional without noting the numerous glaring holes in the alleged study. Which as everyone knows had the conclusion written before the study began.”

Since you’re the expert, please post all the statistical flaws in the actual study. And after you do that – submit it to the AAP for publication. If they except it, then we can take your word that the study was flawed.

“I wonder if that is is how some justify the colossal chillul Hashem perpetrated by this individual? Because he has a half baked study?”

I was not defending any individual, just proving a point about MBP.

“Please, even his original target has performed Grissom many thousands of times and he can only find two cases to pin on him? That alone flies in the face of his own study.”

This study has nothing to do with that Mohel. As far as I know, that Mohel can even be HSV -neg.

“Besides I wonder if you any clue what sakonas necashos means.”

Actually I wonder if you do. You seem not to have the foggiest idea about medical science.

“As I stated numerous times above, we are not talking about when there is an active case. Mohel in do not so MbP then anyway. What is manufactured is that there is any real risk of shedding from non active cases.”

Well it seems from the study that it isn’t manufactured as you say. It seems HSV was passed onto babies during the Bris and I don’t think the Mohelim had cold sores at the time. Again, if you have specific data that their study was flawed, you can post it here.

“If there were, then it would be ossur to nurse because the sakonah is at least as great then. Are you suggesting that it should be ossur to nurse as well? You should if your consistent.”

Here again you prove you don’t know Halacha or Medicine.

I never heard of a study saying Nursing can pass on HSV. Even if you’re correct, then go ask a Rov the Shaila. It’s not B’chlal Nogieah me, so I’m not going into the Shaila, if even there is one.

But for you to compare one to the other is ridiculous. Like I said, I’ll take your word that nursing is a Sakana. E/o knows the Heter of “Hakol Doshin Bo”. They are always quoting R’ Moshe on smoking with this. (Oh btw, for you guys who go to Yeshivos that allow smoking -R’ Moshe’s son said -R’ Moshe would never Mattir smoking nowadays.) Nursing would probably have the Heter of “Hakol Doshin Bo”, but I don’t see how this Heter could be used for MBP!
