There is no actual cure for Smallpox. It was eradicated in 1979, so no one gets it anymore. However, many scientists believe that if an exposed person was vaccinated within a certain time frame (4 days, I think) they would not break out with the disease.

How did edward Jenner find cure for smallpox?

Edward Jenner discovered the cure for smallpox through his observation that milkmaids who had contracted cowpox, a less severe disease, seemed to be immune to smallpox. In 1796, he tested his hypothesis by inoculating a young boy with cowpox and later exposing him to smallpox, finding that the boy did not develop the disease. This pioneering work led to the development of the smallpox vaccine, which ultimately contributed to the eradication of the disease. Jenner's method laid the groundwork for modern immunology and vaccination practices.
