If there is a known fact that there is a higher risk of contracting an infection in a hospital, then maybe we should ban hospitals.
That is ridiculous. For one, most if not all hospitals have sanitation centers for your hands so even if there is a risk of MRSA it is very much localized and controlled.
When walking through an ER? Not in any ER I have been in.
Well I can only speak for my ER. Now, all hospitals are not equal. Masks are not mandatory, but greatly encouraged.
That must be a technical, medical term.
Elaborate
Like western cultures that embrace invasive surgery, as opposed to those who don't endorse such interventions.
I guess CS is more sanitary and less nasty than others who allow for surgeries.
I fail to see your connection between invasive surgeries and the sucking on a wound site. Clearly, there is a problem in the ultra-orthodox community concerning the spreading of Herpes as opposed to hospitals where there is little to no reports of complications.
And if a doctor goes to work and doesn't wash his hands after sneezing, do we ban doctors?
Of course not. But in this conversation nobody at least I'm not condoning the banning of this practice, I'm merely saying it's unsafe.
The results of the other two showed that the two mohelim were clearly not the source of the disease"
I did read that, but I also read this:
"According to the Health Department, 24 cases of herpes have been linked to circumcision since 2000. Two of the infants died and two others suffered brain damage.
Last year, there were two cases. In 2015, there were three cases.
Since 2006, 22 percent of all male neonatal herpes cases were linked to ritual circumcision.
Leaders of the ultra-Orthodox Jewish community have opposed any restrictions on the centuries-old ritual as an infringement on religious freedom.
Mohels who perform the circumcisions are not even required to be tested for herpes, according to Health Department rules."
