Eh, could be a nerf, mixing in real world myth with their vampires, or they could be physically dead, and the disease keeps them alive, and purging the disease restores normal functions.

Another thing could be the disease's origins, Oblivion. A different world from Nirn, it's energy is likely different, and vampirism's host's takes on the weakness of the disease.

I wonder if reverse stealing a garlic into the inventory of a vampire would instantly kill them? Or maybe silver, I mean, Forsworn Briarhearts can be instanty killed by removing their Briarheart, and traditionally, vampires are weak to garlic, so if Bethesda has a reference to that garlicweakness, that'd be cool.
