You have no idea how many have died. You only know about confirmed cases. A statement like swine is 25% anything is nonsense! You are misinformed friend!

Alright, so my dad is blind and is going to get the flu shot on wendsday. I want him to really think before he does it and takes my other family members with him. Problem is he doesn't beleive things like this, you know anything against government or "what he thinks he knows"...so, pretty much i'm asking how i open his mind up to the possibility he might be getting f'd by this vaccine?

The numbers are bunk and you know it.

I suspect you might like to see the herd culled anyway, so I am done with this.
Best of luck to you and yours.
A swine flu vaccine will be fast-tracked for use in Britain within five days once it is developed, and 130 million doses are on order.
The Department of Health expects to have enough vaccine this year to give it to half the population. Further supplies will be available if needed. Each person will need two doses of the vaccine, unless one single jab is found to provide high rates of immunity.
Evaluating blood samples taken eight to 10 days after immunization of healthy children ages 10 to 17, 76% had a “robust immune response,” according to Fauci. That figure dropped to 36% of kids 3 to 9 years old and to 25% among young children 6 to 35 months old.
That means that younger children could need up to four doses of flu vaccine — two for the regular seasonal flu and two for the H1N1 strain. If kids are getting shots, they should be able to get both types of vaccines on the same day. But if they receive Flu Mist, which uses a live form of the virus, then getting two forms on the same day probably won’t lead to a “great take,” according to Anne Schuchat, the CDC’s director of the National Center for Immunization & Respiratory Diseases.
Since seasonal-flu vaccines are already available, parents can start their children’s immunization regimen now, she said.
