To Ruy Dias de Bivar
Thank you for pointing that myth. We need to keep saying it.
They did spread smallpox with the blankets but did not know it.
That is why today’s Libs say it was done on purpose. How can something be done on purpose if they not know what caused it it in the first place?
Same for many other diseases of that time. Cholera, Tuberculosis, Diphtheria, polio, Syphilis, Yellow Fever.
