No. Yersinia pestis, the bacteria that caused "the black plague", has been on earth for thousands of years, it did not come from outer space. At least not with the comets you mention. But the 333 year interval is interesting. Could be the same object then.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1195264 Maybe these comets spray us with so many bacteria our bodies aren't used to, that our immune systems are too busy fighting and don't have what it takes to suppress a hybernating virus like the plague. Interesting post OP.
