Oh, the book convinced me that germ theory doesn't hold water, it's just that not having definitive answers to explain the symptoms of rabies makes me uneasy about the deadly nature of the supposed disease and not being able to counter-argue with people who use this example to say that vaccines work.

It could be bacteria, but wouldn't it be easy to identify in this case? I didn't find anything about anyone stating that they found a cause of the disease other than a virus.

Thanks for your answer, I'll search for his books. I read "What really makes us ill", but unfortunately all it does is talk about the flaws of conventional science, focusing on the non-existence of a virus. It suggests that some cases may be malnutrition or even a consequence of the vaccine, but it doesn't seem to explain the cases I've read about.

In the case I reported above, the woman was 56 years old, apparently healthy, did not return to get vaccinated after receiving treatment for the wound, then the paralysis hit weeks later. I have read other similar cases where patients died and doctors were accused of negligence for not thinking the vaccine was necessary.

Maybe. Rabies cases catch my attention because, unlike many flu-like illnesses, they seem to be consistent in their neurological symptoms and the time they take to appear, as well as reports of animals that have bitten people also presenting paralysis.
