If these H1N1 victims had gotten the shot, they would not have contracted H1N1.
IDK about that. The strain going around was not one of the stains included in the shot this year. Or at least that's the way it is here in Georgia. Many people that have received the vaccine are still getting the flu.

Actually, the strain being reported this year in serious cases, pH1N1, report. Is one of the strains included in the trivalent vaccine this year( (H1N1)pdm09-like virus. The other strains are H3N2 and Influenza B. The problem with the flu virus is that people wait too long before getting the vaccine. They wait until someone at home or work gets ill (or at least frequent reports). It takes a minimum of 2 weeks for immunity to develop, but is even better 3-4 weeks post. We receive our flu shots beginning in October and early November in anticipation of full blown flu season from Dec-Feb. So much of the data is flawed from people claiming they got sick after the vaccine (2 weeks after).
