Bubanoic Plague, Small Pox, Malaria and TB are are four of the deadliest diseases that have caused some of the deadliest epidemics in the last millennium. Yes there are countless instances when small pox was used as a bio weapon. 90% Native American population are said to have been killed by the small pox when Europeans invaded them and used the disease as weapon against them, (in numerical figures thats over a 100 million people) another extreme example of medieval biowarfare. A confirmed incident is the s "Siege of Fort Pitt" in 1763 during the Pontiac's War. It is alleged that small pox virus was even used as a bio weapon in the two world wars , the death toll in the 20th century alone was 500 million from small pox. There are also report that armies would trap and shoot infected people during war times to prevent them from spreading the disease, as the small pox virus was very contagious and could easily spread. Thankfully the small pox vaccine was discovered and mass vaccination campaign started, and bio weapon had been banned after establishment of the UN. In 1979 the world was said to have totally eradicated one of the deadliest disease known to mankind, small pox. Ive seen some images of small pox infected people, very graphic and tragic a human body had to go through these before dying a painful death. Today the world is finally free of small pox with the rapid advancement in medicinal science. Let us hope that this continues and slowly we end all the deadly epidemics that still exists and totally eradicate the deadliest diseases there is, as we have done with small pox.
IIN, the case of medieval bio warfare?

I think that was what I was trying to say.
