Yes, there are a few known survivors of rabies, but they are extremely rare — fewer than 30 worldwide. The most famous case involved a girl named Jeanna Giese in 2004, who survived using an experimental treatment called the Milwaukee Protocol. This approach involves inducing a coma and giving antiviral drugs to protect the brain while the immune system fights the virus. However, the protocol’s success has been inconsistent — most patients treated this way did not survive. Because of that, the Milwaukee Protocol is no longer considered a reliable cure, and prevention through vaccination remains the only effective protection against rabies.
