Abstract
Human rabies has a very high fatality rate and there have only been about 34 well-documented survivors, defined as survival at 6 months after onset of clinical rabies. Many have had serious neurological sequelae. After a young patient survived rabies in Milwaukee in 2004, the approach dubbed the "Milwaukee protocol" has been aggressively promoted as an effective therapy. The protocol has included therapeutic (induced) coma, ketamine, ribavirin, and amantadine and details of the protocol have changed over time. Over the past 2 decades, no subsequent detailed reports have documented evidence of efficacy. There have been at least 64 cases with failure of the protocol. Likely critical care, which has been used for more than 50 years, is an important component of an aggressive approach. The time has now come to abandon the failed Milwaukee protocol for the therapy of rabies and consider new approaches based our current knowledge of rabies pathogenesis.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
