nishtdayngesheft -“Health,

I did not say I am the expert, you however say you are an expert.”

I said in my post clearly that I’m not an expert in Statistics, only in Medicine.

“Yet even me, a non expert sees many fallacies in the study. Certainly when the result was the first part of the study written. A study that only reports the cases that supports is allegations is no study at all. There were no cases of MbP that did not result in HSV? That is what the study would like to allege. They only looked at cases were there was a concurrence of MbP and HSV. Hardly an objective study at all.”

You’re not even making any sense over here. Their objective was only to prove that sometimes MBP causes HSV, not all the time.

So why in the world would they have to look at cases where the kid didn’t come down with HSV?

“And, non expert that I am easily located the study on the NIH about nursing. My quote was directly from the NIH.”

I said that I was taking your word for it, but I wasn’t looking it up.

“The studies seems to say that the occurence would be more likely by nursing than by MbP. Yet it is clear that that is not considered a danger, ergo the alleged sakonah associated with MpB is not considered a sakonah.”

I don’t care whether the Goyim consider it a danger or not.

I was talking acc. to Halacha.

“There has been no study that supported allegations that a person with non active HSV can infect a child. Mohelim that have active HSV do not do MbP.”

Again where in that study does it say all the Mohelim had an active case of HSV with cold sores?

“But I never called my self Health and said that I am an expert in the Health field. You on the other hand do so and yet you post comments that directly disprove that assertion of yours.”

I fail to see anywhere that I contradicted myself.

“With your attitude I can understand why an issue of nursing would never be nogeiah you.”

Hey, I’ve been married and there are other ways to feed babies. I’m sure you’ve never heard of formula.

“It was not necessary for you to interrupt your Yom Tov preparations to post what you did. Have a good Yom Tov.”

That’s not what I wrote. That line wasn’t your Gesheft (nisht dayn gesheft) – it was to PBA!
