There have been various "Swine Flu" influenza viruses over the years and some were considered very dangerous then. The 2009 A-H1N1/09 Pandemic Swine Flu was actually dangerous because it was a rapidly spreading type of flu transmitting very easily from person to person. It was also considered potentially more dangerous because it was a brand new mutation that had not been seen before, so there was very little, if any, human resistance or immunity to it expected which, with rapid spread, could have created a "perfect storm" for disastrous numbers of pandemic deaths. Luckily, it turned out to be a milder illness for most, except those at high risk, with a low mortality rate in the end. See the related question below for information about those who were considered high risk with swine flu in the 2009 pandemic.

Can you get Swine Flu from avain flu?
No you cant get it from avian flu directly, because swine flu is literally pig flu, so it originated from pigs, or so the name says. Same thing for avian flu, its, bird flu. S.o no, but you can get swine flu from birds, because flus can be carried from organisms to organisms. So, cutting it short, you can't get it from avian flu, but you can get it from a bird that has swine flu. A bit tedious but that's my answer.

How many people survived the Swine Flu by using taking the shot?
"The shot" is a vaccine for the swine flu. If you get the vaccine, then, in theory, you don't get the swine flu. If you didn't get it, then you didn't "survive" it, because "surviving" it means that you got the disease but didn't die from it. So, zero is the answer. On the other hand, the swine flu is no more deadly than the common flu, so the vast majority of the people who got the swine flu survived it.
What color is the Swine Flu?
