Answer 2

The scientist who discovered the vaccine for smallpox was Edward Jenner.

Explanation:

Edward Jenner, an English physician, discovered the smallpox vaccine in 1796. He arrived at this discovery following a study of the cowpox virus which infected milkmaids. He noticed that those who contracted cowpox never caught smallpox later. This led to the discovery of inoculation against smallpox. It was Edward Jenner who popularised the practice of vaccinating against diseases.
