Who discovered the medicine for smallpox?

Smallpox has no "cure" per se, and the infected person can only be provided some general treatment to help the body fight off the infection. It's akin to "having the flu" and it is the body that must win the battle to get clear of the bug. Hit the link to the Wikipedia article. Smallpox has been around for literally thousands of years. And it has killed hundreds of millions of people throughout history. There is however a vaccination to prevent smallpox which was discovered by Edward Jenner. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smallpox_vaccine


An individual who played a huge role in smallpox vaccine?

Edward Jenner, an English physician, discovered the smallpox vaccine in 1796. He came upon this discovery by noticing that milkmaids who had the cowpox virus, a less threatening disease, did not catch the dangerous smallpox. Jenner then infected an 8-year-old boy with the cowpox. After six weeks, he exposed the boy to the smallpox disease and the boy did not show any smallpox related symptoms.Sone fun facts:-Jenner coined the term 'vaccine': 'vaca' means cow in Latin.-Before the vaccine, the death rate of the disease was up to 35%.


What was edward Jenner's contribution to science?

Edward Jenner was born in 1749, in Berkeley. He wanted to get rid of small pox for ever so he carried out a simple experiment, which turned out to change everyone's lives for the better. Edward Jenner noticed that cows sometimes got a disease called cowpox. Because the milkmaids had to milk the cows, they often also caught cowpox…but it didn't seem to harm them. Edward Jenner was intrigued - milkmaids that had caught cowpox never seemed to catch the contagious and deadly smallpox, which thousands of people died from. Edward Jenner came up with a theory, that cowpox prevented people from getting smallpox. To test his theory, Edward Jenner needed to find someone who was young and who hadn't caught smallpox or cowpox before. He found a boy called James Phipps (aged 8) and explained his idea. Edward Jenner then took some pus from a milkmaid's cowpox and rubbed it into two small incisions on James's arm. Soon after, James became ill with cowpox but the symptoms didn't last long. 6 weeks later, Jenner took some pus from a smallpox victim and again put it into James's cuts. However, this time James didn't catch the disease. Cowpox was called vaccinia so he called his invention the vaccine.


Who was Edward Jenner and what did he do with vaccination?

I'm studying edward Jenner for my history exam on my birthday (': I'm in year 9 but this is what i know so far (: Edward Jenner was born in 1749 and passed away in 1823. He wasn't a popular man before his discoveries, where after he was named the 'Fathe Of Immunisation'. This meant that he was obviously a wealthy man by the end of his time. Edward Jenner spent a lot of his time looking back at the discoveries of older medical phenomenons (excuse the spelling) and hardly ever developed any ideas himself. This was until he found out some interesting information about cowpox. He found out that a small dosage of either cowpox or smallpox would prevent and stop the spreading of a larger disease in smallpox. He tested his idea on a young boy named James Phipps, and there after his ideas were published and known worldwide. Of course, not everybody loved Jenner, as there were some people called Inoculators, who were very angry about this. Inoculators were people who came people inoculations, a type of injection using a different disease to stop or prevent spreading of smallpox, and now, after Jenner's ideas, these people were no longer needed anymore! Anyway, I hope this stuff it okay (: Zamboogie (History Geek)
