“Throughout history, pandemics have led to an expansion of the power of the state: at times when people fear death, they go along with measures that they believe, rightly or wrongly, will save them—even if that means a loss of freedom.”

“A condição do vampirismo, pensada alegoricamente como doença infecciosa, seria de fato uma calamidade pública: tem alta infectividade, pois o contato direto com o vampiro é extremamente bem-sucedido em produzir novos vampiros, caso as vítimas venham a óbito; alta patogenicidade, pois sempre produz sintomas graves e sinais da doença, tais como os experienciados por Danny Glick; e alta virulência, sendo sua taxa de letalidade extremamente elevada.”
