Source: teapawt.net/DrJennersHouse/status/… Dr Jenner invented the cowpox-based smallpox vaccine, which didn't kill 2-3% of those variolated with smallpox directly (still something everybody wanted to do, since smallpox's fatality rate was 30%)
We have a lot of photographs in our collection, but this is perhaps the most iconic. Both boys were exposed to smallpox, but only the boy on the right had previously been vaccinated. The photograph, taken by a doctor working in Leicester, was first published in 1901 #PhotoMW

Our national medical research funder just released figures, suggest only 8-10% success rate for our annual project fund. 90% applications unfunded = disaster for medical research in Australia. We became scientists to help. But we need help. Please retweet! #NHMRChungergames
