Over 100 male deaths a year in the US due to complications during this unnecessary procedure. These boys died because their parents wanted them to have a better looking penis. Think about that.

There are much stats in the antivax world. 117 deaths a year is not true.

It is perhaps a little disingenuous to refer to these as "estimates". These are observations showing 1 death in 566,000 circumcisions (Speert), no deaths in 100,000 boys (Wiswell). Similarly, King reported no deaths in 500,000 circumcisions. So if we use 1 in 500,000 as a reasonable estimate, we would expect 2.6 deaths in 1.3 million circumcisions. Bollinger's errors have led him to a figure some 45 times greater than that which can be extrapolated from actual statistics!
