They say that diseases introduced by the European conquistadors killed off as much as 95% of the indigenous American population. How come that the Europeans didn't suffer such casualties from the Americans' diseases? Didn't they have their own germs which the conquistadors were not immunized against?

Diseases don't develop everyone at the same rate nor do immune systems.
You suck at virtual ecology and immune system studies.

Superior genes. Literally survival of the fittest.
There's a lot of pop scientists (especially BLM) that says we should be afraid of ayyliums because their germs alone could kill us, but maybe it's actually our germs that will kill them

Advanced medecine and a probably stronger immune system (Europe was a crossroad for trade) prevented that. Natives were killed by their isolation, so to speak.

Hey idiots playing doctor:
It's not "stronger immune systems" it's "conditioned immune systems"...
and no, they're not the same thing.
Some people are conditioned via living side by side with PARTICULAR viruses and bacteria.
It's a roll of the dice which continents had which viruses developing where and who got to live by them.
It's a fact Europeans get sick as fuck when they go to some places in Africa and South America because Europeans aren't conditioned for those super uber extremely specific viruses.
It has nothing to do with general strength you childish dickheads.
It's all about random chance, whether egoists like to accept it or not.
You're not here because your ancestors were "better", they just didn't meet the trillions of ways they could have died.
Snakes, lighting, rock falls, meteor, viruses, falls, floods, tainted food, etc.
Deal with it. You're not special.

Because diseases is the politically correct way to explain disappearance of population. You don't want to say your kids in history class "hey, your ancestors are are mass murdered almost entire continent population"
