The people of Columbus' time had no understanding of what causes disease or how diseases are transmitted. As a result, Columbus could not have done anything to prevent the exchange of diseases between the Taino and Europeans.Of course, if he had had modern knowledge of disease, there is a lot that could have been done. But he did not have that knowledge.

Eric Taino was born in 1975.
It is estimated that there were between 250,000 to 300,000 Taino people living in Hispaniola when Christopher Columbus first landed there in 1492. However, due to the impact of colonization and diseases brought by the Europeans, the Taino population declined rapidly in the following years.
The Taino are not "guilty" in any moral sense; rather, they were indigenous people of the Caribbean who faced devastating consequences following the arrival of Europeans in the late 15th century. They suffered from violence, enslavement, and diseases brought by colonizers, which led to a dramatic decline in their population. Any narrative suggesting guilt often stems from misunderstandings or misrepresentations of historical events, rather than an accurate portrayal of the Taino's experiences and struggles.
The indigenous populations on Hispaniola, the Taino people, faced devastation due to colonization by the Spanish. They were subjected to forced labor, disease, and warfare, leading to a significant decline in their population. Many Taino people died from the harsh conditions, mistreatment, and exposure to diseases brought by the Europeans.
