Since the 70s seemly all mass vacinations related to H1N1 caused more damage than the disease itself.

H1N1 spreads fast, but is not much deadly anymore.

Here in Brazil for example, H1N1 infected a good part of the population, but only about 100 people died, while common flu killed 100 people each day.

And the H1N1 vaccine also caused some mayhem.

I am not dismissing vaccines in general, or saying that even a dangerous vaccine is not worth it (the original vaccine, was very dangerous, yet made a disease get erased from Earth), but there was people saying specifically that the H1N1 vaccine that only Sweden used, was clearly dangerous for young people, too bad those people had no proof... But now that the vaccine DID caused more damage than the disease.

Do you really think anyone will believe that if you don't give us a source?

The 2009 H1N1 pandemic alone killed between 151,700 and 575,400 people[1]. CDC estimates that in USA alone, 11,690 died and 257,000 ended up in hospitals[2]. I can't find any source that brings vaccine deaths to anywhere close to that.
