As it is true it's more than millions. In the 18th century alone, 400,000 Europeans died each year. in the 20th century, the WHO (World Health Organization) estimated about 300-500 million deaths. Many more people have died, as this has dated back to 10,000 B.C.
As late as the 18th century, smallpox killed every 10th child born in Sweden and France. During the same century, every 7th child born in Russia died from smallpox.
There is no accurate number, nor historical count for the number of Native Americans killed by the introduction of Smallpox. The US Government has done an estimate at 50,000 people, while private (non-politically motivated) estimates range between 1 to 120 million Natives.

Small pox was a serious problem from ancient times. It was endemic, so people usually got it as a childhood disease. Many, many people died of it.
I doubt there are records that could tell us how many medieval people died of small pox. Church registries were kept in England during the High Middle Ages and Late Middle Ages, but they did not usually have information on the cause of death, and most of the people in Europe lived in places where records were not kept as the English did.
80% of children died due to smallpox and 20%-60% of adults died due to the eradicated disease 'smallpox'.
A whole lot. There weren't any cures for it back then. Now they cought the virus and it's locked up with scientists and it won't get out, so don't you worry, hun, about smallbox.
