@elonmusk We uncovered data showing that Medicaid was billed nearly $37 billion between 1999-2016 for non-therapeutic infant circumcisions. It is unlawful for Medicaid to be used on unnecessary treatment. End the funding for circumcision now! https://t.co/4SwQ0JUiYM

Brian Morris, the world's foremost circumcision enthusiast, works with a network of proponents to publish pro-circumcision literature and respond venomously to skeptics. In this email chain, Morris characterizes these efforts as a "war" between good and evil.

One of his acolytes, Richard Wamai, describes their efforts as "defending science" and insinuates that circumcision skeptics have an "anti-science agenda". Wamai also thanks Morris for encouraging him to take the lead on writing this: https://t.co/r2vosy2o4K
