Paste Values Without Selecting the destination range

I'd like to make my code just a little more succinct and in the process speed up its execution. I have a lot of copy/paste iterations. I'd like to be able to do the paste part without actually activating or selecting the destination range. Here is my code so far:

Private Sub copyPaste(ByVal wbSource As String, ByVal wbDest As String, thisRange As String, ByVal wsDest As Worksheet)

    Windows(wbSource).Activate
    Range(thisRange).Copy
    
    Windows(wbDest).Activate
    wsDest.Activate
    Range(thisRange).Select
    Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False

End Sub

It's the last four lines that I'd like to condense into possibly a singe line or maybe two. Something along the lines of this would be ideal (except that this doesn't work as written):

    Windows(wbDest).wsDest.Range(thisRange).PasteSpecial ...

Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

To speed up my code I use these two commands at the front, but don't forget to turn them back on again at the end.

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

This stops the screen from flick around as the code is running and

Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual

which stops all the individual calculations while the code is running.

Possibly with...

    Dim vCopy As Variant
    
    vCopy = Workbooks(wbSource).Range(thisRange).Value2
    Workbooks(wbDest).Range(thisRange) = vCopy
