Edward Jenner saw how milkmaids didn't have smallpox because they had cowpox, and didn't die. So he gave a boy a dose of cowpox and he got ill, but didn't die and then he gave him a dose of small pox and he didn't die because he had had cow pox already. (phew!)
He observed that women who tended cows came down with cowpox, but never got smallpox. He hypothesized that there was a connection, and the rest is history. See link for more details.
one of his freinds had come down with it and he felt sad for him so he wanted to make him feel better.
Edward had seen how the milkmaids had only gotten cowpox, not small. This inspired him to find a cure.

Edward Jenner in 1796 used the cowpox virus (vaccinia) to confer protection against smallpox, a related virus, in humans.

Who was the first physician to develop a vaccine?
Louis Pasteur, a french doctor, was the first to explain the principles of vacccination. His first human vaccination was on a child against rabies in 1885. But a century before, Peter Plett, a German teacher and Edward Jenner, a English doctor practised the first vaccination separetly at the same time. They inoculated the vaccine (the cow version of variola) to people who will be acknowledeged as immuned against variola. Some historians also say that inoculation of variola had already been made in ancient China.

How did Dr Edward Jenner discover a vaccine for smallpox?
He noticed, in his village where he was a doctor, that the dairymaids (woman who milk the cow) who had previously had Cowpox didn't get Smallpox. He got inspired by that and thought that they might have become immune to it. He also successfully tested this on a boy. One day Edward was studying a milk woman who was milking a cow when he noticed she had cow pox that you get from cows. Smallpox was very common in those days so he started to wonder why most milk woman had not caught it yet? So he decided to test it on someone . he found a little boy just 8 and a bit years old and he agreed to help him. He deliberately gave him cow pox and the boy was ill with cow pox but he got better quickly . next he gave him some pus out of a small pox boil to see if he caught it. The boy was fine and Edward had found the cure.
