I know all about rabies have trapped thru several outbreakas over the years.
Follow a few common sense rules about handling and nothing to worry about.

Arent you one of the ones who says covid only kills less than 1% of the population,so dont worry about it.
Well einstein,rabies kills way way way less.

Nothing to mess around with. I’ve spent way more time over the last few years thinking about it compared to Covid. Boco that was a terrible comparison

The only one I know of surviving without a vaccine was Jenna Giese from Fond du Lac, Wisconsin in 2004- could be others but I believe she was the first?

Rabies does kill far fewer than Covid. But as trappers, were in a lot more contact with wild animals that the average person. It's the equivalent of working in the Covid ward at the hospital.....while the average person doesn't need to worry too much about it, those who have a lot higher chance of contracting either disease need to take extra precautions.

the difference between covid and rabies is that if you get rabies your 95% chance your going to die if you or your pet come into contact with a rabid animal you need to take the shots and thats to prevent it but if you get rabies chances are your going to die a slow miserable death

If nothing else it's basic economics: Most insurance covers Pre Exposure Rabies shots %100 (classified as a "Vaccine"). Insurance typically doesn't cover any of the post exposure shots (because there is a vaccine available to you). So you pay north of 5k out of pocket in most areas if you get bit and need anti rabies care post exposure.

I had post exposure shots and paid my co pay. $100.00

"Typically"
,probably, usually there are lots of rumors associated with rabies shots that cause people to fear getting them when needed.

A buddy paid over 5k. He had insurance.

MIght be worth checking into the cost per their own policy if people are concerned about it.

I got the post rabies shot and it cost $250 because it was an emergency room visit but that's all.
How long are those shots good for ?

There is no point In getting a pre exposure shot except that you put chemicals in your body
That you don’t need in there unless you get bit. Please explain to me how it makes any sense at all.

As long as you start the shots before the symptoms start you are OK.

My insurance didn’t cover much when one of my kids was possibly exposed, cost over $2,000 for post exposure shots which all had to be done at ER as that was only spot we could get them.

Rabies vaccine does work. Weaponized rabies that's a nightmare.
