[@niuldo]

Hai proprio ragione! Vedere dei Bambini dimenarsi in quel modo, chissà con quali dolori addominali 😭

[@SomeKindaFlyingDisc]

Because animals aren't capable of higher reasoning, they can't conceptualize their situation. Besides, this is a film made to educate doctors back when rabies was a part of everyday life, especially for kids. It was important to educate med students about its signs so the spread could be stopped. When people are suffering like this, they get comfort care, which often involves enough pain relief not to wake up if that means agony.

[@annabuonocore8635]

What kids are suffering from rabies? Are you serious? This was 1929! Nobody dies from rabies anymore. Not even animals. We have both post and pre exposure cure. Unless you can’t get to a hospital within 2 weeks of exposure and as far as I’m concerned that’s nobody 🙄

I thought I had seen all of the old rabies cases. Somehow I've not seen ONE of these. No comfort for these children, They know they are going to die. Makes me wonder if they are observing them. Where are the parents? Are these orphans? This has to be one of the most insidious ways for a human being (or animal) to die. If they were not merely being observed, You would think they would be given high doses of medication to try to stop the involuntary muscle movements, keep them hydrated due to the hydrophobia, sedate them.

[@cherylinman2807]

This was one of the most disturbing things I have ever watched. Thank goodness it was silent, my heart was breaking enough. I didn’t notice any bite wounds on the children as was stated though. They would have had to have broken the skin to pass on rabies so where were the bite marks. Surely they wouldn’t have healed that quickly?

Yes, the bites were previous enough to have already healed. Also, the viral spread is through saliva and can unfortunately easily enter through the eye, nose, mouth etc. a wound isn’t required for viral entrance.

[@johnniewolf133]

Because this is in the 1920's and they are documenting the effects of Rabies on humans for research purposes? What do you think is happening? It isn't meant to be humane, this is a different time with a different mindset on these things and furthermore not equipped with the same medication and equipment that we have access to today. They were given morphine (not shown on video because it defeats the purpose of showing the horrifying effects and transformation of Rabies infected humans) however morphine is not exactly going to save you from feeling and enduring everything that is happening to you when you are literally being taken over by a bacteria that is stealing your body, your central nervous system and systematically destroying you and reconstructing you into a perfect host for transmission into another host. It kills you even before you die, some patients either go into a comatose state before death or become so delirious or various states of lucidity (similar to Dementia) that they are unaware of what their own bodies are doing, occasionally snapping back into reality but most likely with a lack of understanding or awareness anymore as to where they are, what is happening, etc. Hence the occasional violent outbursts and the necessity for restraints if you have the "furious" strain of Rabies that actively seeks out hosts to transmit to. Without videos like this, as horrifying as they are to the average human, there would be no vaccine preventing rabies if caught early to reach the brain and complete the infection. There is still no cure for rabies when symptoms emerge (at which point, it is fatal and the handful of cases in which a human has actually managed to endure and survive have left them traumatised, a shell of their former selves and left with severe disabilities and disorders.) But without research and without doing what they did, we wouldn't have even developed preventative measures to this disease and this would be far deadlier. Science and medical research is, at times, a place where you need to check your emotions at the door and strive to do what is necessary to combat something that has no emotions or feelings as we do. Diseases such as this are the true horrors of this world and without anyone willing to commit to combatting them and developing cures or preventative measures, we would be facing a world ridden with pandemics and mass deaths. I do imagine that if this were filmed nowadays however they would be treated more humanely, they would most likely be euthanized once reaching the final phases of Rabies and most likely be given more reaffirming care and various painkillers and sedatives to put them more at ease versus what was available back then. This is simply a reflection of the times they lived in.

I knew this eyes...

[@geralynpinto5971]

But why weren't these poor mites given Pasteur's anti-rabies vaccine?

[@SgtMayer]

Because as soon as symptoms appear, no vaccine can help. I think they missed the time window to get one.

[@CherokeeBird]

Vaccine didn't exist then. And even so, once you get it, there's nothing that can be done 😢

[@dianehall2248]

@@CherokeeBird Oh, the vaccine very definitely existed at this time, but these children's parents probably didn't think of it and that sealed their fates.

[@deepankarsaurav6130]

​​@@CherokeeBirdLouis Pasteur invented the vaccine in 1885. Vaccines did exist in 1929, but the children never received them on time. Not like what we are used to today like 4 or 5 doses in the arm, depending upon the route through which vaccines are administered, but 14 injections in the abdomen back then because of semple vaccines which used to be nerve tissue vaccines.
