Nice of you to approach this, what could have been catostrophic, as another conspiracy.

By the way, the regular flu season is just now kicking into high gear.

The Collective "expert" opinion, as you put it, can tell you precisely how many died from H1N1. Unfortunately for the skeptics out there, there is not way to extrapolate data on the number of lives saved with the precautions, instructions, and vaccines.

So, without that hard data, I guess the skeptics win.
