๐ญ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ด, English physician ๐๐ผ๐ต๐ป ๐๐ฒ๐๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ realised that infection with ๐ฐ๐ผ๐pox created smallpox-immunity.
๐ญ๐ณ๐ณ๐ฐ, English farmer ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ท๐ฎ๐บ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ successfully vaccinated his family against smallpox with ๐ฐ๐ผ๐pox.
๐ญ๐ณ๐ต๐ฒ, British doctor ๐๐ฑ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฑ ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ป๐ฒ๐ฟ demonstrated that infection with the relatively mild ๐ฐ๐ผ๐pox virus conferred immunity against the deadly smallpox virus. Thus began the journey of the word vaccine, & this is why it is connected with ๐ฐ๐ผ๐๐.
