"Pretend vaccines were entirely different. Wouldn't that basically make them exactly the same as circumcision?"

If you can't find the comparison between one preventative measure and another, I don't see why we're even having this debate. Obviously, you can find a hundred ways to differentiate vaccines from circumcision, but the end goal is to improve health outcomes and quality of life for your children.

Vaccines are well understood. Circumcision is well understood. Both come with significant benefits to the recipient's health, and both are best done while young.

I feel like the comparison is being stretched out and picked apart because you're missing the most fundamental point of the comparison: they're both medical treatments that improve quality of life and are best done at an age too young for informed consent.
