Breaking that down, I feel as if there wasn't any real evidence at the time how diseases were spread so people created the image of a scary vampire showing what it looked like to Transfer a disease through blood. 

  Further into the reading "When outbreaks of tuberculosis, rabies and other diseases"  surfaced "those too were blamed, in part, on vampires." How could that be though? Outside of the crazy idea of a vampire being real, tuberculosis which is very real can't be transferred by blood as the vision of a vampire spreads its disease. Tuberculosis  is an airborne disease.]]> 2022-06-06 14:34:10 UTC https://padlet.com/lozinski101312/eobq29qlqqou2yds/wish/2212286841 lozinski101312 https://padlet.com/lozinski101312/eobq29qlqqou2yds/wish/2212318290 Zinoman writes, "William of Newburgh, recorded one account of a town devastated by such a monster, who was accused of filling "every house with disease and death by it pestiferous breath." Never understood why vampires breath was used in metaphors until now.
 It was the "Black Death" plague that wiped people out in the 12th century. The Black death plague was a "Bubonic" plague. To blame a vampires breath actually made sense at that time due to "Bubonic" plague being transferred by a flea carrying bacteria "Yersinia pestis" that caused flu like symptoms attacking the lungs i.e affecting ones breath. ]]> 2022-06-06 14:59:35 UTC https://padlet.com/lozinski101312/eobq29qlqqou2yds/wish/2212318290 lozinski101312 https://padlet.com/lozinski101312/eobq29qlqqou2yds/wish/2212341585 Continuing on in Jason Zinomans article, Newburgh wrote "Blood flowed out of the monster as if it were a leech filled with the blood of many persons."

Love this one because leeches are in fact filled with secretes peptides and proteins that work to prevent blood clots. Leeches are also known as "Blood suckers" just like a vampire that is also known as a "blood sucker".]]> 2022-06-06 15:18:48 UTC https://padlet.com/lozinski101312/eobq29qlqqou2yds/wish/2212341585 lozinski101312 https://padlet.com/lozinski101312/eobq29qlqqou2yds/wish/2212372337 Vampires were compared to a vaccine. People thought vaccines were a violation to their body.

The first compulsory vaccination law was in England. Zinoman adds "sparking a backlash movement that used the vampire as a metaphor for bodily violation, with fangs representing surgical instruments."🦇🦇🦇🧛‍♀️🧛🏻‍♀️🧛🏿😷🧑🏿‍⚕️💊🩺]]> 2022-06-06 15:46:15 UTC https://padlet.com/lozinski101312/eobq29qlqqou2yds/wish/2212372337 lozinski101312 https://padlet.com/lozinski101312/eobq29qlqqou2yds/wish/2212400702 Nadja Durbach said "The vampire expressed fears about cutting into and polluting the body."

I used the cell of Sickle cell anemia because it's fang like cell causes pain though out the carries body. The "bad cell" also pollutes a persons body.]]> 2022-06-06 16:09:48 UTC https://padlet.com/lozinski101312/eobq29qlqqou2yds/wish/2212400702
