In genetically susceptible humans, one of the proteins in H1N1 triggers an autoimmune attack by T cells against specific brain cells, and those brain cells dying causes narcolepsy.
Most flu vaccines by happenstance never included that protein. The vaccine that caused narcolepsy in susceptible people included the triggering protein.
