I believe it’s also associated with severe health consequences and the only survivor has stated regretting the protocol...

I was bit in my finger by a puppy that I was trying to feed when I was up in the desert doing mountain biking. A few days later, I had to get vaccinated because we could not bring the dog for observation. The vaccination itself can be risky. But it is preferable than risking rabies. I was told it is a horrible way of dying.
Lesson learned.
Well I guess in desperate times all treatments started somewhere, a quick goog is probably as good as any.
That seems to be a matter of debate.
The other reported Milwaukee protocol survivors apparently include:
(1) people who died of the rabies infection, but were characterized as “survivors” in some reports because they survived past the initial acute phase,
(2) People who received both post-exposure vaccination and the Milwaukee protocol,
(3) One survivor who, based on antibody tests, probably was never infected with rabies in the first place.
