The statistics do not support this piece of misinformation.

yes they do, so far the H1N1 has killed 14,000 odd people, the seasonal flu kills about 500,000 people each year
It's the mortality of the sickness that you need to look at.
-snip-
The main cause of death with A-H1N1/09 is viral pneumonia with resulting ARDS (Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome). Even though treated in a hospital ICU, approximately 50% of ARDS cases result in death. In the French study, the number of ARDS cases was found to be one in every 5000 cases, giving the estimate of ARDS deaths as 1 in 10,000 cases of infection.
The number of deaths from ARDS in seasonal flu cases, based on empirical evidence in France, is calculated to be between 5 and 10 each year out of an average annual number of seasonal flu cases of 6 million infections. Until better counts of cases are available, that gives a rough estimate of the deaths due to ARDS resulting from seasonal influenza of one out of a million infected patients.
The 1 death in 10,000 cases from A-H1N1/09 compared to 1 in 1,000,000 from seasonal flu strains gives the prior mentioned indications of A-H1N1/09 being 100 times more virulent than seasonal flu.

I had to post other. The H1N1 vaccine was rushed to market, and we have no idea of the side effects, which may show up in the future. The way I see it is that, if someone wants to take the risk, which is probably low, then taking the vaccine is probably a good idea.
With all the big deal made about this topic, I have yet to meet a person who caught the flu. Might just be my location.
I had a little flu also, but no different than the one I get every couple of years. Not a big deal as far as I could see.I had it. It lasted 2 weeks. It was pretty severe on the third day, but for the first 2 days, and for rest of the course after the third day, it was very mild.

There's no need for it. Drink PBR, it prevents the swine flu.
Once I got stomach flu from drinking Bud Lite on draught. Not only did I get hit with the nastiness that is Bud Lite, but the flu on top of it? Talk about adding insult to injury ...Well yea, but PBR also prevents the ability to enjoy drinking beer. I have never had any strain of flu in my entire life. I have enjoyed beer many times in my life. I don't think it makes sense, for me at least, to do something that has a 100% chance of preventing a good thing just for the benefit of also preventing something that I have a very small chance of getting anyway.
