Watching a documentary on the black plague. I want to see the data on how (((they))) may have started it.

Unverified by myself, I once heard there was a (((pope))) at the time who declared that cats were of the devil or evil, and mandated that they all be killed. Without cats to keep the rat population in check, they spread their diseases.

Interesting. The main stream documentary I was watching concluded it was fleas and lice more than rats.

Rats can be carriers of both. I remember one of my history teacher ssaying that there was something about horses that repelled those fleas and ticks, which they didn't know at the time, but the people who were hired to cart away the dead bodies slept in the stables with their horses and were supposedly immune to the plague by virtue of whatever the immunity that was granted to them by being in close proximity to their horses all the time.

Fleas and lice can ride around on rats.

If the jews caused the black plague it was one of the greatest strategic errors in history. The black plague eliminated the weak and stupid from the breeding pool on a large scale which caused eugenic benefits that we enjoy to this day.

(because of this I wish coronavirus had been real)

All plagues originate in China.

Jews traded on the great silk road.

Muslims on Hajj would have also brought it from India to ME, then to Crusaders

It happened during the richest period of the Medieval Age. Cities were filled with squalor and filth. Jews ran commerce rings and poisoned wells with dead bodies. Rural people around towns also got sick because of commerce routes. Only the isolated communities got it less, but coastal cities got hit the hardest, and the more inland you went, the less the disease hit.

Poland had too many land routes and not as much naval commerce (with the exception of the only place where there was almost no plague; Scandinavia). Jews being on good graces recently may have aided, but I doubt it.
