The trouble with the study is that it only addresses on particular and specfic vampire myth. Many cultures have vampire mythology that doesn't entail such a rabid spread of infection.
I don't believe in vampires, but you know, be accurate with your debunking.
agreed. Hell, Anne Rice didn't write it that way

Anybody who has seen The Lost Boys knows that vampires are obviously real.

Yeah, we all know the guy who wrote that study is a vampire.

I knew a girl in junior high who was convinced I was a vamire. I mean, dead set convinced (excuse the pun.) This was right when the Anne Rice books started hitting the scene and vampires were very much in vogue with the misfit set. I tried to reason with her. "I'm sitting out here in the middle of the day, aren't I?" "You're a good vampire so you can go out during the day." A good vampire?

That.....is too funny. Did you ever eat garlic in front of her or wear a crucifix-or do you think it would have gotten the same reaction?
I want this vampire to be real....and really in my bed...

The garlic thing. All the time. No crucifix though (are Jewish vampires repelled by the star of David?) And I got really mad at her once and told her if I really was a vampire I would have killed her for exposing me as a vampire, proving I wasn't one. I'm not proud of that. It hurt her feelings.

Anyone who's read a single Anne Rice or Laurell K. Hamilton book would be able to tell you about "ghouls" (humans that allow vampires to drink their blood without killing them or turning them into vampires). In these takes on the vampire legends, a vampire need not kill someone to sate his/her appetite.
Actually, ghouls don't appear in Anne Rice and in Laurell K. Hamilton's books they are undead beings (i.e. no blood to suck) that hunt sort of like pack wolves with barely above animal intelligence that tend to rise from graveyards with a lot of occult activity or where a dead necromancer gets buried.
Accuracy indeed... 
The only thing I've seen with ghouls obedient to vampires is Vampire in Brooklyn

Confusing my vampire literature for the lose!
Okay, so they aren't called "ghouls" in either Rice or Hamilton's books. The type I reffer to aren't actually labeled by Rice, and are called "wannabes" by Anita in Hamilton's works. Oops.
But they are called "ghouls" in the White Wolf universe. Neener!
