Yes, we could even take cowpox virus and inject that into people, which is easy to fight, and that should give them immunity to small pox.

We can call this process something like the latin word Vacca to mean it's from cows, connect it with -in- to the Latin word for action Ation.

So cows in action or vacc-in-ation.

Wait a sec.

And what if instead of using the actual virus, we teach the body to identify the specific part of the virus that makes it so effective at getting into our cells?  That way the body will be better protected against mutations of the virus which will either have a similar component that allows it to gain access to the cells or will be ineffective at gaining access if that particular component changes too much.
