dward Jenner was a physician. He was born in Berkeley, England on May 17, 1749. I will be writing about his accomplishments and how it’s related to God. I will also write about his family.
His father died when he was only five years old and his mother died shortly thereafter. His father’s name was Reverand Stephen Jenner and his mother’s Catharine Kingscote. He had five siblings, three sisters and two brothers.
When he was only eight years old, he overheard a girl saying that she could not get smallpox because she had already had cowpox. He desired to figure out if this was true. He was taught at eight years old by Daniel Ludlow to be a surgeon. In 1796 he actually gave a boy cowpox in Berkeley, England to see if he would get smallpox later by putting smallpox pus in his arm. He never got smallpox, so he was successful. The death rate significantly fell after by millions. …show more content…
It would seem like such an outrageous idea to put a disease in someone, wouldn’t that just hurt them even more? Most of the scientists most likely would have given themselves all the credit, but Edward Jenner gave the credit to God.
In conclusion, we can definitely say that Edward Jenner was very successful. He figured out a way to save millions of people’s lives! If he hadn’t, who knows where the population might be now if he hadn’t found a vaccine. Someone would eventually find a vaccine, but the population would be substantially smaller. He passed away on January 26, 1823 in Berkeley,
