The truth about the first person to find the vaccine

Louis Pasteur is recognized by the world as the father of vaccines, but the first person to lay the foundation for vaccination is Edward Jenner, an honorary doctor in the Royal Lon Don Society, England.

Today the world must recognize the most effective way of prevention is vaccination. This medical achievement has helped nearly 8 billion people worldwide avoid death due to pandemics raging from the 17th century onwards. Vaccination is applied to both adults and children, almost everyone understands that just one injection, our body will be immune to many non-cure illnesses.

Many people think that Louis Pasteur is the father of vaccines because he is so famous for finding bacteria as well as infection and making vaccines for rabies. In fact, Pasteur is not the father of the vaccine, which belongs to an honorary doctor in the Royal Lon Don Society. It was Edward Jenner , who confirmed the effectiveness of the vaccine in human disease prevention before the world knew of the existence of viruses and bacteria. Edward Jenner's world history of medicine has made tremendous contributions to establishing a "empire" of vaccines that helps protect billions of people across the globe.

In 1796, Europe was in a smallpox epidemic. Now no one has the concept of virus. In 1798, when Dr. Edward Jenner announced the experimental results laying the foundation for vaccination, it was only then for people to imagine that "pathogens" caused the infection.

Smallpox disease has been around for a long time in human history, becoming a pandemic from the 6th century, originating from Africa, then spreading to Europe and Asia. In the 17th and 18th centuries, millions of people were killed. Smallpox is caused by the virus, but the Louis Pasteur doctors do not have any concept about this problem, they think that this is an incurable disease. It was not until 80 years later that Louis Pasteur discovered the bacteria.

At that time, Dr. Edward Jenner's hometown was also seriously threatened by smallpox epidemic of human health and livestock. It is estimated that in 1773, for every 10 Britons who have it, up to 9 deaths. Those who survive also suffer from ulcers, pitting face, suffer from loneliness, shame for the rest of their lives, being estranged by the whole community, ostracized by the terrible ability of infection.

The initial symptom of smallpox is the development of red bumps, then the blisters spread throughout the body, causing fever, infection, which can lead to blindness and death. The disease is transmitted by inhalation and contact, so the number of infected people increases rapidly. Dr. Jenner spent many years learning about the disease but could not find a cure.

Once, Jenner accidentally discovered "cowpea " disease, ie smallpox in cows. The doctor observed that the strange thing is that people who milk cows after suffering from this disease will no longer have smallpox, because of similar symptoms, he calls it "cowpea". From there, the doctor always wondered: "Can cowpox spread to people to prevent smallpox in humans? Thus, people will get cowpea disease without dying but get rid of deadpox people".

Jenner went to see a milking cow woman who was suffering from cowpea. This disease often occurs in cows, causing the whole body to develop vesicles. The doctor extracted the fluid from the cowpea on the cow girl's arm Sarah Nelmes and transplanted it into the arm of a healthy 8-year-old boy and a village named James Phipps. Phipps then had symptoms of cowpea. 48 days later, Phipps got rid of cowpea, and Jenner immediately injected him with a small pea-containing substance. Tracking shows a strange phenomenon: Phipps has no smallpox.

Jenner's "vaccination" approach to ethical standards today is completely wrong. But in fact not thanks to his recklessness, then Europe will fall into the hands of death due to the pandemic epidemic. This is obviously a groundbreaking action: The immunized child is resistant to the disease. Not stopping there, Jenner also applies to his own son, even though the child is only 10 months old. The results were very good, the baby also did not get smallpox. Based on this principle, the doctor has completed the technology of manufacturing vaccines with the following stages:

1. Step one : Get some smallpox germs on a cow with this disease.
2. Step two : Make germs weaker.
3. Step three : Inject these germs into the body through the blood. He explained that vaccinated people will not get smallpox anymore because their blood already has an anti-disease factor.

In 1798, Jenner's vaccination method was replicated throughout the world.

Jenner calls the method "vaccination" , which is the origin of the popular human vaccination practice to this day. In 1798, Jenner's vaccination method was replicated throughout the world. Two years later, the British government invited him to inject the Royal Navy army, thanks to its effective prevention, the doctor was awarded a very generous award. Emperor Napoleon in France also ordered all soldiers to vaccinate smallpox, then the United States also applied this method.

Jenner's greatest success was conquering smallpox. In 1802, he was elected Chairman of the International Commission for Smallpox Prevention. The doctor was awarded a valuable prize by the Queen of England and Russia, the French emperor, and the US president for making great contributions to humanity. Jenner was later invited to work at the French Academy of Sciences. In mighty countries like England, France, Italy . people have cast his statues to remember and give thanks.

On January 16, 1823, Jenner took his last breath due to a stroke. The British government asked to bury his corpse in Westminster Abbey, the resting place of the elite children of England and mankind. People called him the "immortal talented doctor of humanity" and the "father of vaccines" made immense contributions to the world preventive medicine industry.
