How come there is still no cure for rabies virus?

Rabies vaccine was first invented as early as around 1885 by Louis Pasteur. I was just wondering why rabies virus has very insignificant medical advancement and is still 100% lethal with no cure.

It doesn’t have a blanket 100 lethality. It’s 100% lethal once it’s developed past the incurable point, which is when it causes encephalitis. Basically there just isn’t enough time at that point. Your brain is a really delicate organ so once a virus attacks it, it’s damaged beyond repair very quickly. At that point it doesn’t really matter if you cure the virus. You’re a vegetable.
