Oddly enough, there is a genuine Muslim contribution along these lines to America. The Turkish practice of innoculating for smallpox was used by Washington to immunize his army. The Brits did not do so and the differential death and sickness ratio that resulted played a significant role in assisting the American victory.

In particular, a large number of American slaves defected to the British during the southern campaign, on the promise of freedom. Most of them died of smallpox before they could be used to fight the Americans.
