I once found a great explanation to why vampires cannot exist from the scientific aspect but I can't find the article anymore. In it though they treat vampirism like a disease and that everyone thats bitten turns immediately. I wonder if they truly existed/exist if there was something in their system (maybe some sort of protein, antibody, etc.) that would cause blood lust, immortality, etc.

Oh well, seems like i've rattled on.
Good night!

A truly ridiculous calculation and it is very apparent that the person doing it did not even intend to toake the topic seriously.
For instance, if he would have taking into consideration that the majority- or perhaps none- of the "Victims" actuallly turns, then the whole calculation of his would have fallen together like a house of cards.
Probably that was also the very reason he chose to not consider that point.

That was my original thought too. I think that if they truly exist than they are a far more complex species. The aspect of the math that concerns that basically by now all of the world should have been turned is true indeed. However, like we have said, they probably are far more complex. I'm actually embarrassed saying the following but... ;-)... There is one thing that I like about Stephenie Meyer's vampires in Twilight and that is that she introduces the "vampire venom" which was the source for their (now quoting DragonRiderGal) mutations :-)! It was what made them immortal and gradually changed them over the course of days into living statues. I have to admit though that by a long shot the vampire queen is still Anne Rice.

However, this is what I have always presumed to be the problem. Something that I call and many others The Missing Link. Humanity by far has not discovered everything this world has to offer. The possibility that a virus such as the one DragonRiderGal describes could in fact exist is a possibility. There are enough diseases, etc, that have rather strange symptoms.

@DragonRiderGal, all still good in "Grand Memoria?" :-)!
