Thank you for this question. Please find the answer below:
Edward Jenner’s smallpox inoculation experiment was not based on a dairymaid who had cowpox, but on the dairymaid milking a cow with cowpox.
He observed that cowpox was present in the dairymaid due to the process of milking. He formed his hypothesis saying that the dairymaid was immune to smallpox due to the cowpox vaccine.

Edward Jenner was a revolutionary doctor who found the cure to smallpox.
However during his training days he had an encounter with a dairymaid who claimed that she could not have small pox as she had cow fever.
Edward went into research and he found her wrong and founded the immunization for smallpox with the help of his friend John.
