Sorry about that.. I’ve got to start being more attentive. I did find it interesting that Jenner had been vaccinated for smallpox as a child though.

Not to beat the subject into the ground but, originally you stated that “the first patient was inoculated in 1757.” It also seemed you were saying that first patient was Edward Jenner.

But the article we both linked to states he was one of thousands of children inoculated in England that summer. And the practice went back hundreds of years, first introduced in Europe in 1670.
