You are wrong. Rabies can be transmitted if you have a small cut or wound on your hand (ie paper cut) and you come in contact with saliva that’s infected with rabies .

This is how outbreaks occur. People get complacent and start saying vaccines will give their pet autism so they don’t vaccine. Then their pet come in contact with a skunk, raccoon, feral cat, bat, etc… then the whole family gets to go through prophylactic treatment.

Just because you’ve never seen it close up; doesn’t mean it does not exist. It just means veterinary support and environmental health are doing a good job. Rabies is almost 100% fatal, all but two people have died from it, but it still ravaged their nervous systems and it was a long hard journey to speak, eat, control bowels, and walk again.
