Who discovered that people who contracted cowpox did not contract smallpox?

How do Louis Pasteur and Edward Jenner help us keep well?

Edward Jenner noticed a trend that farm maids who milked cows were oftentimes immune to smallpox. After some research, he identified that cowpox (caused by a cousin of the smallpox virus) infected the maids and was the cause of their immunity. Jenner then experimented with cowpox on a child (history is unclear on whether this was his son or a neighbor). When he later exposed the child to smallpox, nothing happened. Thus Dr. Edward Jenner developed a method to immunize people from smallpox (which was later named vaccination by the French). Louis Pasteur developed the process of pasteurization, a process of heating food to a specific temperature for a certain amount of time then cooling it immediately to kill off microorganisms (and slow their growth) in the food. Both these processes help to keep us safe from pathogens.
