towards the end of the article, they say it makes sense to test in India because they get large numbers of advanced rabies cases whereas north america supposedly gets zero.

Yes. My point was it sounds like we’ll delay it for years for testing.

But 59,000 people die of rabies each year and each case is almost certainly fatal.

So it seems we should speed up distributing this. If rabies patients start surviving then we know it works.

At that point we can test exactly how much it works. But meanwhile why wait?
