Before the 18th century, smallpox was an unstoppable killer, a disease so common and so feared that it was simply accepted as an inevitable part of life. Then came Edward Jenner, a quiet country doctor from a small English village with a radical idea that would change the world forever.

This is the definitive story of the man who, armed with a single, crucial observation, pioneered the concept of vaccination and laid the foundation for modern immunology. From his early years as an inquisitive apprentice, through his pivotal and ethically complex experiment in 1796, to the global spread of his revolutionary discovery, this book explores the scientific genius, personal sacrifice, and unwavering compassion that defined his life.
