What about the video of someone infected throwing water away from them? It looks like he's deathly afraid of the water even though he desperately wants it.

(Furious) rabies causes intense and painful spasms of the larynx when the victim attempts to drink, or really attempt to swallow anything.

There is no reason to believe that rabies video is authentic. The internet..

rabies swells your throat, making swallowing anything painful, and that manifests in a fear of drinking; even someone with rabies knows what a cup of water is
if it's a fake, it is a very realistic fake
