He did not discover much about the actual disease, but he came up with the vaccine. the first EVER vaccine.
Edward Jenner did not discover germs, he developed vaccination for smallpox (using cowpox pustules) which was much safer than the inoculation for smallpox (using smallpox pustules) then in use. However he had no idea what actually caused smallpox, only that it was something invisible in the pus from the pustules.
Because the british government introduced a complusory vaccination for the smallpox disease in 1853.
The discoverer of this particular vaccine was Edward Anthony Jenner. The first time it was used was in 1796 in England.
A vaccination.
!&(^ it means 1796 in caps lock
In 1796, he injected an 8 year old boy with cowpox, a less lethal form of the small pox. This created an immunization to smallpox and was coined the first vaccination.
Antisceptic, or is it Smallpox vaccine.... one or t'other. I'd better look it up.... Smallpox Vaccination using Cowpox it is.
He had discovered a cure for SMALLPOX which was called Smallpox vaccine... had tested the vaccination on a person called James Phipps .
