This is actually an article recounting a few primary sources on the ground at the time of contact, and almost immediately mentions the Aztecs’ enemies in Tlaxcala and Chacla along with a cemetery study of the Mixtec—who suffered some of the worst of Aztec dominion—to describe the interplay between the effects of colonial policies and the “virgin soil” of the new world’s immune systems, which, naturally, weren’t limited to the “third reich” state in control at the time of contact.

- christkv 6y agoI guess you skipped the conclusion at the end of the article which is a completely subjective and biased opinion. Centuries of colonial exploitation and violence have made the indigenous peoples of both Americas disproportionately vulnerable to current epidemics. What current is epidemics is this person fabulating about? COVID ?
