Many people were initially hesitant about Edward Jenner's smallpox vaccine due to a combination of fear, skepticism, and misunderstanding. The idea of using material from cowpox lesions to prevent smallpox was unfamiliar and seemed risky to many. Additionally, there were prevailing beliefs and superstitions about disease transmission, which led to resistance against vaccination. Concerns about safety and the potential for side effects further fueled opposition to Jenner's groundbreaking work.
it was edward Jenner
he didn't get it but he did cure it in 1796
He discovered a cure for smallpox.
He had discovered a cure for SMALLPOX which was called Smallpox vaccine... had tested the vaccination on a person called James Phipps .
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.
On May 18th, 1749, Edward Jenner was born. He was an English Doctor Who discovered a cure for people with something called "smallpox". It's very rare, and he took pus from a cowpox pustule and insert it into the arm of a boy who had smallpox. Weird enough, it actually saved this boy from smallpox.
nothing, people died

he realised that milkmaids did not get smallpox. They got a non dangerous form of it called cowpox.
A vaccination.
he used a weaker version of the virus called cow pox to prevent small pox -Jeff Spearman
No cure, it is viral. However vaccination has eliminated it.
