I do believe in the rabies shot! Our pets always had those!
I have had to put down 3 of our fogs in the past year.
Vet was surprised each time that they lived to such old ages. I explained... We never did the shots, only rabies shots!
The rabies vaccine is not good either... we've lost several kittens, a couple within 24 hours, some a week or 2 later. Our vet now gives those vaccines in the tail because if a reaction occurs the tail can be removed without causing too much damage.
Unless your pet is outside 24/7 without someone around what are the chances of it getting rabies? Rabies is not air born, it has to be close contact.
Indoor pets are even less likely to come into contact with an animal with rabies.
You are so right. Rabies is not airborne and virtually eradicated at this point. A better chance of your animal getting distemper than rabies. Unless they live in a bat colony. Having worked with a married vet couple, one was a vet and one specialized in canine neuro. They disagreed on whether to vax indoor cats or not. Cats developed growths at vaccine sites and sometimes cancerous.
