Parents claim about rabies vaccine is complete BS

From full story:

"After he was bitten, Shumaker told his parents by phone and online messages that he had been given a partial sequence of rabies shots that was stopped because the medication was expired. He also told them he was ordered to shoot the dog and bring it in for rabies testing."

"It appears this may not have been true. The investigation found no evidence that Shumaker sought or received the care he described to his parents, that he was ordered to shoot a dog or that one was tested for rabies."

"A blood test after his condition was detected found no rabies antibodies in his system, and there was no human rabies vaccine available or called forward to COP Chamkani, the report states."

"His stepfather conceded that Shumaker, while an honest person, may have told them a “story” to keep them from worrying. “I personally think he was trying to make us feel better,” David Taylor said."

In other words, the kid lied about receiving treatment, told no one in his COC, and now Mom blames the Army.

Just effing A typical!

“Typical” of someone who is staring down a death by rabies?

Why are deathbed identifications of a killer usually considered to be reliable?
