"There is no evidence that any American gave infected blankets to native Americans. Moreover the virus only lives outside the body for several minutes so the whole story is scientifically impossible. It's an anti-american myth.
Try again."

OK, lets try to get thru your "disinformation" again,

Smallpox spreads from contact with infected persons. Generally, direct and fairly prolonged face-to-face contact is required to spread smallpox from one person to another. Smallpox also can be spread through direct contact with infected bodily fluids or contaminated objects such as bedding or clothing.

Um, it seems you were TOTALY WRONG about small pox infected blankets being, and I quote you, "scientifically impossible".
Man, you will go to any lengths it seems to deny the genocide of Native Americans by the English settlers.
