…showed last 75 words of 1256 total…Wortley did not invent the vaccination, or the inoculation process, she is largely responsible for the progress of them. Jenner invented the vaccination because his inoculation was performed by an inexperienced doctor, and Jenner wanted there to be a more reliable method of preventing the plague. If Lady Mary had not pushed the inoculation as she did, Jenner would have not have had an inoculation, and the world would very likely still be without vaccinations.
