What else can I help you with?
Why didn't James phipps catch smallpox?
James Phipps didn't catch smallpox because he'd already caught cow pox
Why did edward Jenner choose James phipps for his experiment?
Because James Phipps had never had Smallpox and Jenner needed somebody who was not immune to smallpox or else this experiment would not work.
What happened to James Phipps?
He developed a slight fever but after he was injected, he was fine
Who was James Phipps?
James Phipps was an Englishman who became the first person to be inoculated with the smallpox vaccine by Edward Jenner in 1796. This successful experiment laid the foundation for modern vaccination practices.
What particularly important achievement did Edward Jenner make?
He had discovered a cure for SMALLPOX which was called Smallpox vaccine... had tested the vaccination on a person called James Phipps .
Did Edward Jenner make vaccinations?
Yes. He noticed how milkmaids caught cowpox, but didn't get smallpox. Cowpox was similar to smallpox but much milder so didn't kill people who caught it. The milkmaids who had caught cowpox didn't catch smallpox because their body had become immune to it after having cowpox. To test this theory, Jenner took some of the pus from a cowpox spot from a milkmaid and injected it into a boy named James Phipps. He fell ill, but didn't die. He then recovered and Jenner took the pus of a smallpox spot, in a high dose, and then injected this into James phipps. This was very risky because smallpox at the time was very deadly. James Phipps did not fall ill. The cowpox had made him immune to smallpox. This vaccination was done on more and more people to make more people immune to smallpox.
What was the name of the boy that Edward Jenner tested to see if you get cowpox if it would stop smallpox?
Edward Jenner tested his smallpox vaccine on a young boy named James Phipps. In 1796, Jenner inoculated Phipps with material taken from a cowpox sore, which led to the discovery that exposure to cowpox could provide immunity against smallpox. This groundbreaking experiment laid the foundation for the development of the smallpox vaccine.

It wasn't till Pasteur's (anthrax and rabies vaccines) time that other vaccines were discovered.
