That's just flat out wrong. If that were the case, than the Spanish Flu would still be killing millions of people per year.

SARS-CoV-2 and A/H1N1 aren't even in the same phylum. It would be silly to expect them to have precisely the same effect. Besides, when people gush about "herd immunity" they don't usually include the caveat "of course it's going to kill fifty million people first!"
