Richard Gunderman
Jenner saved the lives of more people than any other figure in history.
As the US Covid-19 vaccination pro gramme reaches full stride, approximating three million shots per day, the time is ripe to recall the contributions of the physician-scientist who first put vaccines on the map, Edward Jenner. Some claim that Jenner saved the lives of more people than any other figure in history, yet his approach is often poorly understood.
1. He built on the work of others Born in England in 1749, Jenner was inoculated as a child against smallpox, a dreaded disease that appears to have scarred 3,000-yearold Egyptian mummies. Caused by the Variola virus, the disease manifested as fever and the development of a blistering skin rash referred to as pox. It is thought that about 30 per cent of infected people died of the disease, especially infants and young children.
