I doubt that what we call swine flu is mostly deadly for people with a good immune system. A good immune system is able to resist (as you can see by taking a look to the ones in Europe and USA who already are on the road to recovery). Otherwise it is a contradiction to call such an overreacting and failing immune system at the end a "good" one.
There are different reasons why some suffer from diseases, not only because of a virus (or lets say a compound of enzymes and proteins which are believed as an evidence of a virus) while some others die, and some don't get anything.
In Europe, smallpox vaccinations initially was an eyewitness report of Mary Montagu (a british author) in the early 18th century (she observed vaccinations in Turkey). But the idea of smallpox vaccinations is believed to be almost as old as Christianity.
Anyway, Edward Jenner (a country doctor) was that one who basically developed the smallpox vaccinations in Europe. His work was based on his report of experiments with 23 persons. Out of these 23 persons, 14 were not vaccinated, one boy died after his vaccination, one woman bore a death baby and other individual cases happened (which Edward Jenner tried to hush up). At the end, only 4 out of these 23 persons could be used as an evidence of a potential effectiveness of smallpox vaccinations. Edward Jenner sold his vaccine to royal courts. They vaccinated basically phan children to get more vaccine from the resulting pustules. At those times, when it began to became a profit, the early derision and scepticism (even by many doctors) against smallpox vaccinations disappeared more and more. Although many people got smallpox vaccinations in England, many of them died nevertheless.
Today there are admited risks (I don't say known, because it was known but ignored from the bginning due to profit as usual, especially within the drug industry). Today the number looks less dramatic: 1 complications out of 1.000 smallpox vaccinations. But this is an estimated underplay number for sure. A lot of, if not the majority of doctors, are against smallpox vaccinations.
A friend of mine went to Brazil for three weeks about two month ago. Prior, to be sure, he visited 5 German doctors to get an advice for vaccinations and costs. 2 of them even advised against vaccinations because the sense and nonsense and the risks of vaccinations is still controversial.

The smallpox vaccine was based on empirical evidence and proved to be an effective vaccine - that is how science is done.
