my kid told me one morning she wanted to watch "dinosaur trucks" and i was like there's no way that's a thing and sure enough https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ud_gLdgJJAQ fruit on the bottom posted:Actually, last I heard for the most part smallpox blankets were accidental and only one like one or two occasions was it seriously considered as a form of biological warfare against the native Americans. Is that still what the consensus is? yeah the us army had no problems at all just hunting native americans down and shooting them to death so im not sure what the smallpox blankets were supposed to achieve AnoHito posted:Iirc, it wasn't so much that that they wouldn't have done it as it was that people back then didn't understand diseases well enough to do it. they did understand it and biological warfare of this type was common enough in the middle ages and early modern period. iirc there's documented proof the british tried it before the revolution they didn't know exactly what was up with germs but they figured out pretty quickly that contact with diseased material spread some diseases boner confessor has a new favorite as of 06:53 on Mar 28, 2018 |
