What diseases did edward Jenner and Louis Pasteur?

Edward Jenner Helped understand micro-organisms by using them to create the first ever vaccine. He used cow-pox and made them develop into a cure to the deadly disease, small-pox. This helped other scientists understand micro-organisms a lot more.

How did edward Jenner's invention help people?

His invention helped people because he made a vaccine to prevent smallpox, a deadly disease that killed lots of people. He did this by injecting cowpox(a mild form of smallpox)into a healthy hand. This gave immunity to the smallpox that he would later inject to the hand.

His invention of the vaccination was a great success as people were still dying of the disease called smallpox so everyone would have done anything that remotely cured them of the horrid disease.

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.
