Who is the Modern 'Father' of Vaccines?

Edward "Cow Pox" Jenner (1749-1823) is known as the Father of Vaccines because he was the pioneer of the smallpox vaccine. According to Google, "the word vaccine is derived from the Latin vacca, meaning cow. A virus that mainly affects cows (Cowpox) was used in the first scientific demonstration" of vaccines. You can get a biography of Jenner from the official site.

Was Jenner even a "medical doctor" with a degree from an accredited university?

Edward Jenner was not a medical doctor by the standards of his own time. His "medical degree [was] confered... not [by] an examination but [by] the payment of a fee of fifteen guineas to the University of St. Andrews"... and "his Fellowship in the Royal Society... by a procedure which amounted to a fraud." (from "Vaccination a curse and a menace to personal liberty: with statistics showing its dangers and criminality" pp. 20-21) Today we would condemn such college degree/diploma mills as outright fraud.

Was Jenner a "sloppy scientist" by his own admission?

Yes, in Edward Jenner's own words: "I have vaccinated children myself... whose arms I never inspected after the operation" (from the "Life of Dr Jenner" p. 48). Would you want to have a doctor work on your child who could not be bothered to follow up on treatments he administered to see if they worked and that there were no complications, especially when they were experimental?

Who was the first child to be vaccinated?

Edward Robert Jenner (1788-1810, 21 years) was the first son of "Dr." Jenner and the first to be vaccinated. Jenner also vaccinated his other children: Catherine Fitzhardinge (Jenner) Bedford (1794 - 1833, 39 years) and Robert Fitzhardinge Jenner (1797 - 1854, 56 years). As Jenner stated (as quoted in the "Life of Dr Jenner" p. 48): "My two eldest children were inoculated for the small-pox before I began to inoculate for the cow-pox. My youngest child was born about the time my experiments commenced, and was among the earliest I ever vaccinated."

Who was - probably - the first child to suffer vaccine damage?

Edward Robert Jenner who was the first child of "pioneer" Edward Jenner. After administering multiple doses of his vaccines to his son, young Edward "always delicate in health, and had, moreover, in some respects, rather a defective understanding" (from the "Life of Dr Jenner" p. 141). "Defective understanding" is a polite term for mental retardation. Young Edward unfortunately died at the age of 21 from tuberculosis which Jenner, by his own words, had linked to the smallpox vaccine (see Jenner's first vaccinated patient).

How would Edward Jenner's conduct towards his children be viewed today?

If Edward Jenner were alive today, someone would call Child Protective Services and say: "This man is cutting open his child's arm and putting cow pus into it" and that would be accurate. No doubt his son would have been removed from his care.

What about Jenner's other children?

If you review Jenner's official biography from the official site leaves critical questions unanswered. Why is there no mention of the fates of his other children: his second son Robert (1797) and his daughter Catherine (1794)? Why is only "James Phipps (below) considered a success and his son Edward's disability and early death (1788) ignored? Why did his other children fail to endorse their father?

Who was Jenner's first vaccinated patient outside of his family?

James Phipps (1788-1853). Here is what Jenner said about him (from the "Life of Dr Jenner" p. 304). "Oh! there is poor Phipps," he exclaimed, "I wish you could see him; he has been very unwell lately, and I am afraid he has got tubercles in the lungs. He was recently inoculated for small-pox, I believe for the twentieth time, and all without effect" (meaning it did not work at that time). Fortunately for Phipps he managed to recover despite (?) his vaccines.

Who was Jenner's first paid spokesperson?

James Phipps (1788-1853). Here is what the UK Science Museum says about him: "When James Phipps was married with children, Jenner gave him a free lease on a house." Here is what Jenner said about this (from the "Life of Dr Jenner" pp. 304-305). "...on his table [was] a plan of a cottage. 'Oh,' said [Jenner], 'that is for poor Phipps; you remember him: he has a miserable place to live in; I am about to give him another. He has been very ill, but is now materially better.'" Was Phipps paid for services rendered? If this happened today, this would likely be judged as a pay off.

What did James Moore, Jenner's chief assistant, believe was the true cure for smallpox?

From James Moore's book on "The History of Smallpox" (dedicated to Edward Jenner) 1815 (pp. 306-307): "It is therefore much to be wished, that to preclude all persons infected with the Small Pox from mixing with the public, a law should be enacted to confine them strictly to their own houses, or in hospitals appropriated by the parishes for that purpose, as long as the infection is upon them. The plan is simple, to enforce it would be easy; and the sole inconvenience would be a temporary confinement of those persons whose enlargement spreads poison through the land. By such a measure, the infection of the Small Pox, for want of subjects to act upon, would necessarily decline, and soon become extinct; and multitudes of human creatures would be annually preserved from disease, blindness and death."
