In the winter of 1848-49, American sailors aboard the frigate SS Independence introduced measles to the Hawaiian Islands. A grisly pandemic of measles, whooping cough and dysentery ensued, claiming 10,000-15,000 lives. I compiled this history a few years ago. It remains germane. (A THREAD, 1/6.)
“An infant in Kentucky who was unvaccinated against pertussis, or whooping cough, has died, marking the third death from the deadly bacteria in the state this year. Before 2025, Kentucky had last recorded an infant whooping cough death in 2018.”

Point of information.
Or the laws of armed conflict. Or the Geneva conventions. You cannot kill people who have been rendered hors de combat in a military action.
Decent answer, but this is why CNN needs experts on the law of the sea on, instead of the usual political commentators. They could easily explain why this violates maritime rules.
