Your argument here is that - based on one study suggesting that balanitis falls from 3-11% of males to 2-7.5% of genitally-mutilated males justifies the systemic mutilation of all males in the US?
This is not a medically or scientifically sound argument.
I think that's essentially the argument for vaccines. We all get the vaccines to lower the risk of infectious diseases. Cutting off part of a person's genitals is more extreme than getting a needle jabbed in the shoulder, but I think it's the same basic principal.
