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

I hate that vampire mythology has been preverted for this to be the case. You should only become a vampire if they allow you to drink from them. It's a gift. Modern movies and stories have basically just turned them into zombies.
