After what happened a few years ago, why would this ritual be started again?

Why do you claim it started again? If you know anything, you know that it never stopped. Obviously, some community control is necessary for the prevention of the spread of disease, and if Yidn can't handle that, maybe the secular authorities will handle it, instead.

I don't care what scriptural reference they use to justify doing it. Pikuach Nefesh trumps ALL, so this should be totally forbidden. And if Jews won't protect their infants, yes, we must turn to secular law to prevent it.

Get real. Metzitzah b'peh is not the danger. Metzitzah b'peh while infected is the danger. You know this. I know this. Even Pruzhany knows this. While outlawing it would prevent the problem, so would outlawing circumcision. In fact, outlawing Judaism and Jews would do an even better job.

Sorry, guys. We live in the US of A, and that's not how we do things here.

I havent even looked up what the Jewish words mean in this thread yet, but I do love your post cause thats how it is, outlawing Jews and Judaism aint no new concept. Thank you for your service.
