Somehow,I feel as if you didn't read what I said.
That the survival is so rare that it's not worth considering.
That even if you don't die, the science likely to be as bad as any.
That there are rare cases of immunity, or rather, elevated rabies antibodies, does not even count considering the overall danger from the disease.
It was merely an interesting tangent that I found in the process of supporting my hypothesis, that is, that not all who have become symptomatic with rabies have died.
And, what I determined, and noted, was that rabies is too dangerous to have optimism, so far as the hope for survival goes, but that there is not an utter lack of hope, but merely an incredibly crushing near certainty of death.
If such a thing can be called mere at all.
