Growing up I always assumed the settlers just slaughtered them but looking at the numbers they got reduced disease almost exclusively. If natives were so susceptible to Europe diseases they had no immunity to shouldn't euros have been susceptible to foreign Indian disease as well?
Why did the natives get so utterly BTFO by disease?

Jews created diseases and couldn't infect them until colonization.

They got covid and sadly vaccines weren't invented yet

You may have forgotten that plague killed up to a third of Europeans. Things like smallpox also took a steady toll, but since people have been living with (and dying from) it for centuries all those suspectible have already died out.
In the meantime the diseases evolved to retain effectiveness in face of improving immune systems.
Now imagine such a super disease arriving in an area where people never had any immunity at all.
>boom two thirds die within a single generation
And such dramatic loss of life collapsed their civilization. What if mostly the people farming and gathering food are affected? Starvation.
Plenty things came together in such a fashion.

Europeans had a 1000 years to fester in pig shit and mud, building an immunity to a variety of common old-world diseases which traveled with them when they reached north america and infected the natives who'd had no exposure to them.
Jaxson Cook
The same reason the Europeans got hit so hard by syphilis, until the Europeans adapted by discovering and applying germ theory and antibiotics, which the Indios just weren't intellectually capable of doing.
Alexander Hernandez
Indians had a much more recent genetic bottleneck than Europeans did: diversity, ironically, was our strength. Indians can all be traced to less than 50 nomads crossing the Bering strait just a few thousand years before. Europeans haven't faced a bottleneck that severe since our ancestors left Africa.
Jordan Moore
Herd immunity - they had none. Isolated tribes and then exposure to European viruses. The inverse was true as well: Syphilis was bad as well but that went from New World back to the Old World.
Oliver Harris
Europeans lived in hives, surrounded by their own filth constantly, so only the strongest survived.
Native Americans lived a nomadic subsistence lifestyle, moving camp once things started to get shitified.

no one likes to talk about how the english and french maintained a gentlemen's agreement upon surrenders, was common in europe. you're army takes too many casualties due to injury or death itself. they're already sick mind you. you burry the diseased dead. you make a gentlemen's agreement upon surrender for safe passage and what have you...
meanwhile the natives used in war, dig up those graves, the graves of diseased and dead soldiers...collect their sclaps because that's their religion into manhood. meanwhile the natives infect themselves and everyone they come in contact with because they dug up the dead bodies for their fucking scalps...

Europeans didnt come from africa

>I always assumed the settlers just slaughtered them
Did you ask yourself why you thought that?
It is because that is the falsehood that the beast system pushes, you were conditioned.
Blake Reed
you're acting as if it wasn't all planned by the anglos to infect them with blankets. other european empires like spain and portugal did not do that to their subverts in south america.
Carson Phillips
The Europeans were introduced to several diseases including some previously unknown STD's. I'm not an expert but I suspect immigration and birth rates made up for the losses to disease.
Adrian Martin
stfu liar. Other considerations regarding disease spread is that natives lived in communal housing with large family units.
Jack Sanchez
You are acting like it was planned.
Parker Russell
because it was.
Chase Howard
Na, that is just an anti-White falsehood that is spread for your hate session.
Adam Young
Stupid mother fucker smallpox was spread by respiratory droplets it was a an impossibility to contract it from blankets. blankets
Brody Morris
>anti-White
dude, i mean... those indians did not wipe themselves out despite all the sacrifice rituals.
Thomas Harris
lol autistic screeching
Joshua Cooper
We did not wipe them out either you mindless fucking drone.
Parker Parker
>from your source
>no evidence it worked, hint because it didn't
where the British gave items from a smallpox infirmary as gifts to Native American emissaries with the hope of spreading the deadly disease to nearby tribes. The effectiveness is unknown, although it is known that the method used is inefficient compared to respiratory transmission and these attempts to spread the disease are difficult to differentiate from epidemics occurring from previous contacts with colonists

You probably believe USA went to the moon.
Colton Allen
Unlike you I have studied smallpox epidemics

Didn’t some disease hurt them hard right before we got there? You sure it was even us bringing it?
Mason Perez
>t. historically illiterate nutjob
>my source
no it is not my source. i wasn't there. deny it as much as you want, the fact that anglos deliberately inflicted this to indians is undeniable. you're no saints.
Luis Fisher
i don't but i do believe that Stepan Bandera did nothing wrong
Cameron Ramirez
Duh the source i posted isn't my source, cuz I wasn't there duh

>euros have been susceptible to foreign Indian disease as well?
they were you retard......
montezumas revenge.........
otherwise euros survived the black plague & numerous other disgusting things so their immune systems were genetically stronger than the isolated peeps in US
Jacob Rivera
hey, i hope you don't deny the holocaust.
it's something that lets you go away with angloid crimes in north america.
Carter Torres
Germ theory did't really come into fruition until the mid 1800's though
Isaiah Bell
I mean you’re telling me over the corse of like 150 years being exposed to this shit they didn’t develop immunity? They just kept dying?
Bentley Torres
They migrated out of Europe and Asia over 10,000 years before we did. Viruses etc. have short lifespan and evolve massively in such time spans.
