why rabies is so deadly, why it has such a high kill rate and how/what does it actually do?

Just saw a video about rabies having 100% kill rate, peaked my interest.

Why is rabies such a horrible thing and what does it actually do to be able to kill you without an actual cure etc?

EDIT: I didn’t expect so many responses to this, thank you to everyone who answered!

To be precise, rabies has no 100% mortality rate. A very small minority of people have survived it without any treatment, or with an experimental treatment. However it’s safe to say that >99.9% of people won’t survive rabies without vaccines.

If you get rabies and you’re an antivaxxer, just be in the 0.1% and you survive, problem solved. /s
