Legend has it that vampires feed on human blood and once bitten a person turns into a vampire and starts feasting on the blood of others.Someone please give him a Nobel Prize.
Efthimiou's debunking logic: On Jan 1, 1600, the human population was 536,870,911. If the first vampire came into existence that day and bit one person a month, there would have been two vampires by Feb. 1, 1600. A month later there would have been four, and so on. In just two-and-a-half years the original human population would all have become vampires with nobody left to feed on.
If mortality rates were taken into consideration, the population would disappear much faster. Even an unrealistically high reproduction rate couldn't counteract this effect.

Clearly the research is flawed. Not all vampires are like that...oh, and what about those horrid Vampire Slayers!
That's not correct as if you're bitten by a vampire, you only turn into a vampire if you aren't sucked dry. If you are sucked try you die just like any human, and to be bitten and not sucked dry is very rare. I don't know how often vampires need to eat, but when they do eat they generally don't leave a vampire behind - just a corpse.
