	Edward Jenner - LoveToKnow 1911
		EDWARD JENNER (1749-1823), English physician and discoverer of vaccination, was born at Berkeley, Gloucestershire, on the 17th of May 1749.
		Jenner concluded at once that this was due to an accidental contamination of the vaccine with variolous matter, and a visit to London in the spring of 1799 convinced him that this was the case.
		Jenner was led, by the language of the chancellor of the exchequer when his grant was proposed, to attempt practice in London, but after a year's trial he returned to Berkeley.

	Edward Jenner
		Jenner was born in Berkeley, Gloucestershire, on 17 May 1749, the son of a vicar.
		Jenner could not explain why the method worked, as he did not have access to the germ theory work of the French chemist Louis Pasteur; it was not until the 1860s and 1870s that Pasteur, and the German chemist Robert Koch made the discoveries that would provide the link between germs and disease in humans.
		Jenner's idea was too radical for many in the medical profession, and his status as a country doctor meant that many city doctors looked down on him.

	Edward Jenner
		Edward Jenner (May 17, 1749 - January 26, 1823) was an English country doctor practicing in Berkeley, Gloucestershire, England, made famous by his invention of the vaccine.
		Jenner called his method vaccination, as the original infective material came from a cow (Vacca is Latin for a cow).
		Jenner realised the long-term implications of vaccination, and looked foward to the day when smallpox would no longer be a threat anywhere on earth; his dream eventually reached fruition with the global eradication of smallpox in the late 1970s.
