“In the late 1700s, Europeans fighting in the French and Indian War distributed blankets infested with smallpox to Native Americans as a way to combat their enemy.”

Just a hair split but that should read Native Canadians. The Hudson Bay Company gave out the smallpox infested blankets. No real case of that being done has ever been found in the pre US. From the never miss an opportunity to bash America, even if it's wrong department.

I should add that later stories blaming the US Army for giving out those blankets during our Indian wars were found to be BS.
