Tell people who claim to believe in the typically defined 'vampires' to fuck right off. If vampires are immortal and have to feed regularly and make a new vampire of each victim then we'd all be vampires by now, assuming they're not a new development.

Are you sure about this?
Even immortal vampires die when people stab them with stakes or expose them to the sun or brandish a cross, or something. Presumably they die if they can't feed enough, too, otherwise why do they feed? It would also depend on how often vampires need to feed. I also thought typically-defined vampires could feed and not turn the victim into a vampire.

So given all these made-up facts about made-up monsters, if the natural death rate of vampires was high enough, or their feeding rate (actually their convert-to-vampires rate) low enough, then us normal humans could survive fine. Just goes to show how important vampire killers are. Van Helsing for president, I say.

Vampires feed apparantly
because they need it to sustain themselves. No blood won't kill them, just go into a hibernation.

Plus I thought the general consensus was that it took three feeds to actually turn someone. Or alternatively the bloodsharing thing
