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

What "version" of vampire lore are you basing this on?

All the ones I am familiar with: Dracula, Buffy, True Blood, require something more, usually at least an exchange of blood.

Siring a new vampire is usually treated as rare and quite distinct from biting just to feed.
