No it doesn't. What led, supposedly because it's just a theory, was that OTHER colonists while in a war, tried to infect their indian enemies.
The Infection by the Spaniards was many years earlier. Your own source names the supposed reason they suspected the colonists of passing on disease has nothing to do with the Spaniards but years later during war with the Colonists in one area they resorted to "germ warfare"
The facts remain, the Indians were vastly decimated BEFORE this war and before the Colonists arrived by disease contrary to what you argued
AND
It was not Genocide.
