Yes, it says it right here: "In the United States, human fatalities associated with rabies occur in people who fail to seek medical assistance, usually because they were unaware of their exposure."
In other words, those who seek medical assistance do not suffer fatalities. That is completely inconsistent with a 100 percent kill rate.
lol, you didn't even know what prophylaxsis was and you are going to continue? you have quite the opinion of yourself, ever consider you don't know everything and are in fact, wrong?
People can receive treatment before (this is the key word you seem to miss) the infection takes hold, generally immnoglobulin and vaccine therapy, you have to catch it within 10-14 days before it can replicate in the dermatome, once it does, nothing stops it, hence RR's chart, it's fatal. it also kills way more people each year in the world. Again you want to focus on the US because it suits you, the world in 2010 for example had over 25k deaths from it. There is more nuance as well, the site of the bite dictates the speed of infection, how far the virus has to travel to obtain teh CNS.
There is no cure for HIV however, the same process exists for it.
Regardless, you are wrong on this as you are on Ebola.. par for the course with you.
So let's run down the facts again.
It;s not the most deadly virus, even HIV is more deadly.
It spreads poorly, not as poorly as rabies, not as well as malaria.
It's a zoonotic disease requiring a animal vector, only once infection starts can you be infected, animals can carry without problem, hence the higher spread rate.
It is treatable, particularly with first world medicine, what is the death rate 20% of those who have been treated in time?
An african country has eliminated it after having more cases then the US, the desity and conditions of the populations in Nigeria are prime for spread.
What is there to fear again?
