so if israelites had just drained a little blood to drink from the animal without killing it, it would be okay?
I doubt it. the blood issue is about sacredness to God and also a protection as most of his laws on principle are.
THis letter is just trying to find loopholes on the blood principle.
Ask yourself one question.
If blood transfusions were not life and death would you adhere to the blood laws? and just clearly see that taking blood into your body by transfusion is if anything worse than eating.

My reply:
Irrelevant. The verses on blood referred to dietary restrictions on animal blood.
