That would be one hell of a fluke. Rabies kills about 17,000 people a year, and excluding the Milwaukee protocol survivor, only 13 untreated survivors are known to have ever existed. It is basically completely and utterly fatal if left untreated.
- Retric 8y agoDepends how many people get experimental treatments. If say ~10+% of people got experimental treatments, and you have ~10% of the survivors that revived experimental treatments, then the odds are very good it's a fluke.

- village-idiot 8y agoI should specify, it’s basically 100% fatal once you’re symptomatic.
