Here's the actual link for people to read. CDC indifferent on circumcision would be a better title. They also state that in the effects there were no cases of death reported in the groups they looked at.

It also states resistance to hpv as a benefit but ideally that should be handled through vaccination.

From these guidelines:

In 1999, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) changed from a neutral stance on circumcision to a position that the data then
available were insufficient to recommend routine neonatal male circumcision.

The Academy also stated, “It is legitimate for the
parents to take into account cultural, religious, and ethnic traditions, in addition to medical factors, when making this choice” [61].

Male circumcision is a proven effective prevention intervention with known medical benefits. Financial and other barriers to access to
male circumcision should be reduced or eliminated.
