Senator crying over a rabies office that handles basically nothing

Factcheck:

Yes, RFK Jr.’s statement is accurate. CDC data confirms 1-3 human rabies cases per year in the US on average (17 total from 2015-2024, often fewer or zero in some years). The “traffic” he referenced aligns with confirmed cases, though the CDC rabies line also fields exposure queries and PEP guidance for ~100k people annually.
