He found the subtle relationship between cowpox and smallpox through careful observation of natural phenomena, and proved the immunity of vaccinia against smallpox through a rigorous scientific verification process, saving the lives of miuions of people; he also coined the terms of "vaccine" and "virus", which is still in use today.
