Didn’t the first documented cases of this occurs a hundred of more years after most of the natives had already died (18th vs the 16th century)? By the time Europeans started colonizing NA most of locals had already died to the diseases spreading from the south.

In my reference, I acknowledge that how I used "they" was ambiguous. I meant people practicing war before germ theory.
If we ignore this example, we still have dead and infected bodies/livestock being catapulted into cities.
