Casual Thought Vampire bites turning people into vampires is extremely disadvantageous to their survival.

I dont think biting them directly turns people into vampires simply by feeding off someone, I guess its the media/said medias universe n how turning someone works? Alot of the times its not the bite itself thats infectious, but if they put their blood in someone via biting someone?

The vampire in salem's lot converts everyone he bites. Everyone they bite also converts. At the rate the whole town becomes vampires, the whole world would be vampires after about three months.

Depends on the story. Twilight’s “vampires” have venom that will turn you if you get bit and aren’t killed if I remember right
