"Jenner's discovery of vaccination made possible the immediate control of smallpox and the saving of untold lives . . . Jenner must be considered the founder of immunology; in vaccination he made the first use of an attenuated virus for immunization. For his coining of the term 'virus,' his effort to describe the natural history of the cowpox virus, and his description of anaphylaxis, he must be considered the first pioneer of the modern science of virology"--DSB VII, 97. Garrison-Morton 5423 (1798 original edition, "one of the greatest triumphs in the history of medicine"); LeFanu 24 (this edition).
