Louis Pasteur is perhaps the name most commonly associated with proving that germs are indeed responsible for causing diseases, which is known as the germ theory of disease. Pasteur took Jenner’s trick of using cowpox to cure smallpox but took it to the next level by showing that vaccines could be made from germs that had been deliberately weakened. This paved the way for lab-made vaccines for different diseases, such as fowl cholera, anthrax, and rabies.
