Jenner did not patent his vaccine, for If he had it would have made it out of reach for most people (Trueman). “I shall endeavour still further to prosecute this inquiry, an inquiry I trust not merely speculative, but of sufficient moment to inspire the pleasing hope of its becoming essentially beneficial to mankind” (Jenner).
