No, I am pointing out that the Native Americans didn't know much about infections in general, and syphilis in particular because they were immune to that disease. So, they couldn't have spread the disease to us intentionally. We, on the other hand, were having trouble with smallpox at the time and knew it was spread by contact and clothing. We deliberately spread it to the Indians.
I think an honest and complete telling of history is important in order to learn some humility and to avoid immoral practices in the future.
You are free to believe that we have a squeaky-clean history at your own peril.
Your "leftist" label caries the exact merit as other people's "racist" labels. These are used to cover up the total inability to handle opposing views while being unable to support your own through rational discourse.
They weren’t immune and we weren’t deliberately spreading diseases, and besides, the diseases that were new to the indians were the diseases of the world, not created by Europeans.
You can’t find the proof, but you do continue with leftist propaganda.
This kind of stuff.
“Ward Churchill tells a shocking tale of war crimes committed by the U.S. Army at Fort Clark against the Mandan Indians in 1837. Fort Clark stood perched on a windswept bluff overlooking the Missouri River, in what is today North Dakota. Churchill reports that in early 1837, the commander of Fort Clark ordered a boatload of blankets shipped from a military smallpox infirmary in St. Louis. When the shipment arrived at Fort Clark on June 20, U.S. Army officers requested a parlay with Mandan Indians who lived next to the fort. At the parlay, army officers distributed the smallpox-infested blankets as gifts. When the Indians began to show signs of the illness, U.S. Army doctors did not impose quarantine, but instead told the Indians to scatter, so that the disease would become more widespread and kill more Indians. Meanwhile, the fort authorities hoarded smallpox vaccine in their storeroom, instead of using it to inoculate the Indians.”
