(15/15) Who was the scientist who came up with the vaccine and why is the method of administering it so effective?…
Pasteur first report reads like a commercial. He ran his experiments like magic shows, bringing in skeptical witnesses and reporters and making admittedly brash predictions that turned out to be true. However, his experiments were very well done, with good controls and great publicity of results, though he never revealed his lab work to produce the vaccine itself. So he did fail at allowing others to reproduce his results.…

He also pioneered the sterilization technique which is used in everyday medicine including surgery and surgical instruments. The advancements of Louis Pasteur were not only beneficial to the people in his time, but his techniques are used worldwide today in everyday…
Pasteur’s theory that germs caused disease helped the advancement of medical sciences and led to the breakthrough of vaccines. Koch helped discover the organism that caused disease and it helped create vaccines. Lister helped develop the idea of cleaning wounds. All these contributions lead to progress in Europe.…

~~Edward Jenner was an English physician and scientist that made a monumental endowment for medicine; the smallpox vaccine. Jenner, the “Father of Immunology,” was born May 1749 in Berkeley, Gloucestershire. He received most of his schooling from Wotton-under-Edge and Cirencester. During this time, he became infected with smallpox, which had a lifelong effect on his health. Jenner was apprenticed at the age of 14 for 7 years from which he obtained most of the experience he required to become a surgeon.…

• Ignaz Philipp Semmelweis was born on the 1st of July 1818. He was one of the most important medical figures of his time. His discovery concerning the prevention of puerperal fever shown in him many qualities such as brilliant fact-finding, logical analysis such as using statistics to come to answer and keen thoughtful reasoning. The highly successful hand washing made him a knowledge growing, leading star in antisepsis during his era (known as the prebacteriological era), in spite of much opposition and resistance.…
The history of vaccines is very interesting. English physician Edward Jenner created the first vaccine for smallpox in 1796 ("Smallpox: Vaccination."). During the 18th century, smallpox was an epidemic that killed over 400,000 people each year alone in Europe ("Smallpox: 12,000 Years of Terror."). As an experiment, Jenner inoculated eight-year old James Phipps with cowpox ("Smallpox: Vaccination."). He did this by extracting pus from a milkmaid, Sarah Melmes who had contracted cowpox ("Smallpox: Vaccination."). Phipps did not contract smallpox after the injection, which prompted Edward Jenner to conduct the same experiment on his son, getting the same results ("Smallpox: Vaccination."). This experiment helped lower the amount of deaths due…
Louis Pasteur, born in Dole, a small town in eastern France had an interest in scientific subjects. In 1847, he received his doctoral degree. Pasteur believed that if germs were the cause of fermentation they could also be the cause of contagious diseases. He began to develop the Germ Theory of Disease, and eventually, developed vaccinations. In 1881, Pasteur successfully developed and introduced to the public his anthrax vaccine. In 1855, He launched one of his most famous developments – a vaccine against rabies. Soon after the vaccines were tested and were successful, the Pasteur Institute was built in Paris to treat victims with rabies and other diseases.…
