Paul Earney, 24-year-old ex-paratrooper, spent a week in the hospital as a result of a neck injury received during the "brush race." Though the hazing was actually...
...head wounds who got only vaccine, three died. Of the 13 who got serum as well, only one died (and he had but a single shot of serum). Among the 25 who today are alive and healthy is Golam Khazayi. No other human being has survived so intimate a brush with rabies...
