Stefan has bled out the cure
... right?
Because if a syringe of Elena's blood contained the cure, then it follows that all the pints of blood Stefan lost must have leached it away...
Oh wow! I didn't think of that
shareWell, I'm almost certain that he hasn't bled out the Cure. It just goes to show how stupid the idea that all they needed was one syringe of Elena's blood to get the Cure. At least when Silas drained Katherine dry, it made sense.

I just want to add another interesting fact , When Amara died with the Original Cure , nobody thought of save some of her blood while was was dying or after she died .
And Amara spent only a few minute when she drunk the cure from Silas , share
I think it was a day or so, she attacked and drained Silas as soon as she was woke up, then spent the next episode chained in the Salvatore basement because she was suicidal, at least I think that's how it went, but yeah apparently no one thought to be like "hey Amara you wanna die right how bout you share the cure with us, all it can do is kill you and your cool with that right?", they instead just let her die even though Stefan was right there, and wanted to be human, or so he says repeatedly then never actually acts on the chances to become one...god knows sometimes with these people.
shareI don't know. It can't be a coincidence that Damon brought up the fact that Stefan lost so much blood they had to put 3 pints back into him.

It's not. Stefan do bleed out the cure

I mean we don't really know that you have to drink ALL of it, correct? Silas was just being a prick probably and didn't want to risk it

Well in 5x03 he told Katherine, or Nadia I a note remember, that Katherine WAS the cure. It ran all through her veins.
shareStill though it was never really confirmed if they had to drink ALL of someones blood to get the cure, right?

It still doesn't explain how one syringe of blood is guaranteed to have the cure, either.
shareIt's confirmed through their actions. If it wasn't necessary to drink all of someone's blood, why was everyone so limited when they had first heard of the cure? Why couldn't everyone who wanted to be human just pump a litre of Elena's blood out and share it amongst themselves?
Not to mention, if that one random syringe of blood they took out from Elena contains the cure, then as the OP notes, why wouldn't the 3 pints of blood that Stefan bled out also contain the cure? What exactly makes its magical properties expire once a tiny amount of it has left a certain person's body? But it doesn't expire when it's left another person's body.
What made the most sense was that you had to drain the person in question. Hence, Katherine and Silas were drained to the point of near death.
A rose is just a rose.
It's never really been explored in detail though, has it? I think Silas just assumed he needed all of it, as he was a prick and didn't care at all either way if Katherine lived or died.

But Silas would be the one who knew how the cure worked and had more information about it than Bonnie ever did.
If we were to go by the assumption that Silas was just being a prick, what exactly has the show shown otherwise that makes you think that Bonnie/Caroline/Damon know something different? The transfering of the cure hasn't been explored in detail, no. but that argument works both ways. The Scooby gang don't know about it anymore than they learned from Qetsiyah and Silas, and saw through Silas/Katherine/Amara. How would they have learned something different. Where would they have gathered the knowledge about the specific quantity and method that they can use to start transfering the cure? If you're going to assume that Silas didn't know any different, then you have to be consistent and also assume that this modern generation of people who had nothing to do with the creation of the cure know even less about it.

This plot iostyoo complicated:
First they heard about the cure. Assumed that there was enough for everyone. Turned out there was only few.
Silas claimed he needed all of Katherine's blood,he didn't drain her ,she survived but aged rapidly and had very little time to live left.So even though he didn't drink all her blood, he sucked all the cure out of her? Since she had blood left in her system, she shoukld still have a little of the cure left but it seems that no.
Then we have Elena taking the cure.Damon was supposely to suck it from her. So he didn't need to suck all of Elena's blood.That would kill her. So obviously they knew that and he just needed a little of her blood for him to be human.
Now Bonnie took a little of Elena's blood, and the writers state that there is no more cure in Elena's body.How is it possible to take all the cure with this little amount of blood?If that amount blood left Elena's body without the cure, then Stefan, who bled way more than what Bonnie took, must have bled out the cure.
It doesn't make any sense.If he still has some of the cure left in his system, so does Elena.And Damon could suck it from her.
It is confusing but I think it goes back to season 4, "there is only one dose." If that makes any sense?
We're all on our way out, act accordingly.
My confusion is:
If just a little amount of blood is enough to leave Elena's body without any cure left in it, then with what Stefan bled , he shouldn't have any cure left in him.But that doesn't seem to be the case.And when someone takes the cure, doesn't it spread in all their blood system?So even if they lose a certain amount of blood, they still have the cure in the blood left in their system?Meaning that Elena must still have some of the cure left in her blood?No sense whatsoever.
You're right, to take one syringe full of blood and pass it on as the "one cure" while the person has more blood doesn't make sense unless it can only be passed once. IDK, just guessing.
We're all on our way out, act accordingly.
What's ridiculous is that the quantity of blood that's required to transfer the cure is decreasing with every passing season. For Silas, it was almost draining Katherine of all her blood. We all thought she died. Then for Amara, she had to suck on Silas's blood...maybe not to the point of draining him but enough to weaken him a little. Now you have Elena who only got one blood tests worth of blood taken from her.
Soon it'll be just a prick of the finger and the cure will be transferred.
