I just recently learned how deadly rabies is! By the time you have symptoms you are ~90% likely to die. Roughly 6% of people who live have a weird immunity they still haven’t figured out. This is amazing. I hope it can be used in humans quickly.

It is more like %99.9 and only 6-7 persons got away with it but doctors are not sure they were infected with rabies. So you can say that it is %100.

Right the protocol for survival is also... barely surviving, with extensive damage

That is severely downplaying the virus. If left untreated, it's safe to say that 100% of patients die. As far as i'm aware of, only 3 people survived, all left with serious health problems. Google "Milwaukee protocol". So saying that it's around 90% is like saying there's a chance. There isn't. If assumed exposure do not hesitate to get shots.
