During the 20th century, it is estimated that smallpox was responsible for 300–500 million deaths. In the early 1950s an estimated 50 million cases of smallpox occurred in the world each year. As recently as 1967, the World Health Organization estimated that 15 million people contracted the disease and that two million died in that year. The history of smallpox holds a unique place in medicine. One of the deadliest diseases known to humans, it is also the only human disease to have been eradicated by vaccination. Edward Jenner is the one who used a sort of vaccine to fight smallpox. He is called the Father of Immunology but others were involved as well. He noted that people who were infected by cowpox were immune to smallpox.
