Look at it, Vyrthur was practically forced to be a vampire or he wanted to be one cause if he wasn't, he could have just prayed at the shrine of Auriel and cure his Sanguinare Vampiris (the precursor disease) quite easily, unless he was turned into a vampire lord, which is doubtful of he would have just transformed and go Harkon boss fight mode. So, either Akatosh did not give a crap, or he had no ability to cure it (doubtful cause praying at a shrine gets rid of Sanguinare Vampiris, but can't cure the whole lot).

So, unless Vyrthur was turned into a vampire immediately (highly doubtful), he could have cured his illness (he would have known if he checked his "active effects" tab :P). So, maybe all his rant against Akatosh is just a poor escuse for truly wanting to be a vampire?
