Almost 90 bombs were dropped in one region in just 24 hours.
Russia unleashed an unprecedented bombardment in southern Ukraine overnight in what local officials described as a “massive attack” in the conflict which has continued to rage even as the international community’s attention has moved to the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.
The Ukrainian Internal Affairs Ministry on Monday morning said Russia dropped at least “87 aerial bombs on populated areas of the Kherson region - the largest number for all time.” At least eight people were also injured in other Russian strikes carried out in the Odessa region further to the west on Sunday night.
That was a single incident by the British in the French and Indian War and resulted in zero cases of smallpox.

It happened several times in the southwest as well. It wasn’t just one time. You’re being willfully ignorant.
Those are myths.
And now you just entered the realm of Holocaust denial. You’re a willful idiot, just a shame so many of you help destroy any chance at a decent future.
The holocaust wasn’t a myth, where do you get your information.
You’re correct, the Holocaust happened, just like the genocide of the Native Americans happened, that you want to deny happened. Fuck off out of here with your genocidal apologist historical revisionism. I would have called out Woodrow “I literally wrote Southern Revisionism” Wilson, and my grandparent and great grandparents die. Fuck you and your historical revisionism. Also known as “bald-faced lies” if they are told with the knowledge of the history in question. If you are just parroting misinformation, fuck you again, but not as hard. Stop being willfully ignorant.
He’s not wrong. The Smallpox Blanket myth is a closely held belief for which there is no evidence. Here’s a good outline of how the story grew and spread over time.

I live(d) in the southwest US, and know a lot of natives that would be able to point to sources that I can’t, that say otherwise.
The primary disconnect, if you read the link I posted, is that there were other vectors for smallpox deaths.
Nobody is denying that thousands upon thousands of people died of smallpox, that DEFINITELY happened.
It just wasn’t caused by infected blankets.
