::..., passed out smallpox blankets to native Americans....::

That one was debunked a long time ago. In a letter, a man in the military suggested that as a tactic. It was never actually done, nor could it have been done without also infecting those passing out such blankets.
One removed from that long list. The soldier suggesting it must have been 1st LT. Arthur Fauci, the great, Great grandfather of Anthony. Good thinkers in that family tree.
