Jenner; Massacre the Monster (Smallpox was known as The Speckled Monster) In the eighteenth century, smallpox was the biggest killer throughout Europe. Edward was a happily married country doctor in England. Milkmaids advised him that cowpox was effective in preventing smallpox. Along with everybody else, he rejected the concept as an old wives’ tale. However, as a doctor, he repeatedly encountered the ravages of smallpox. It upset him that there was no known remedy. He decided to research cowpox, and was widely pilloried: powerful forces in the church plotted against him, rival doctors undermined him, and his wife scorned him. Worst of all, he couldn’t find patients for his experiments. Little wonder, injecting corrupt animal matter into a child was way beyond their comprehension. Jenner stood against these forces and persevered with his experiments. Thanks to his determination, vaccination saved millions of lives. This is historical fiction that portrays the life story of a remarkable man.
