The prospect of being able to use this against viruses like the one causing rabies is pretty exciting!

Don't we already have treatments for the rabies virus but the problem is that it's too late once the virus gets to the central nervous system which is when symptoms show? How would this new antiviral be different?

Problem are antivaxerz who refuse to treat and test dogs! They prefer random street dogs over children !
