Lol, Rabies is not that fatal as you describe. Yes it is still very horrible and you'll have a series of shots in the stomach but the fatality rate these days in the United States is no where as bad as you say.
There seems to be some confusion here, so allow me to clarify.
A case of
full-blown rabies cannot be cured. It is almost always fatal in humans. The disease is quite serious.
However, as I said, rabies lies dormant for some time after infection. If the vaccine is delivered promptly, before symptoms start appearing, then it is more than 90% effective at preventing a case of full-blown rabies.
Thus, you are correct in saying that with treatment it can be controlled. However, I am also right in saying that it cannot be cured once symptoms have begun to manifest.

AND there has been a 3rd attack , in the forest again , but that kid just got scratched a little
P.S the police have blocked off the forest
You will, of course, forgive me if I call you a liar. The vaccine for rabies requires a series of injections over a period of several weeks. I find it hard to believe one could be so confused as to mistake a clean bill of health for a series of painful shots.
Or are you suggesting that you went to a different doctor and got the vaccine? As I said, the treatment takes several weeks, and if you started yesterday, you could not possibly be finished today.
I would also ask why, as a new member, you have chosen to post exactly twice, both times in relation to this thread. It has been my experience that new members post as often as they can. There are many threads in relation to werewolves which one would imagine would have struck your fancy...unless, of course, you are using a fake account to post lies. How juvenile.
