    Native Americans died by a common cold by Europeans and you think they will live while infected by an STD? You are out of your mind, there is no proof of this. Do your research.

      your logic is invalid. It was/were "COMMON" virus(es) for europeans, so their immune systems were capable of defending itself. It doesnt mean it was a simple and harmless virus and will be destructive to a immune system that has no similar experience. I don't know about proof, but it's plausible, that this STD originates from native Americans. Not all NA died + you can give the STD in the incubation period of the 'cold' virus.

        Sheep are the source of syphilis. This is a fact that is well known. Sheep are not native to the Americas. The fact that a doctor or educator is not able to give the correct facts is ridiculous. Good grief!
