This indicative of the flawed reasoning you are employing.. we were talking about nurses administering the vaccines, not the media. The media does what it does, that doesn't have any relevance to the risks and benefits of vaccinations.
And you put pandemic in quotes to try and make some point, but H1N1 met all the criteria for a pandemic, yet you employ more flawed reasoning by making an appeal to emotion with your "so called" quotes.
It's not a scare tactic to state what is going on.

What's the difference then? How can one be ok but the other not be?

I've read some studies on vitamin D with relation to flu and cold, and they don't say what you are claiming here. This is a bare assertion, substantiate it with some evidence.
While you are at it maybe you can explain how taking vitamin D can generate antibodies for a particular strain of flu.

That you think this kind of fallacious reasoning is in any way meaningful is telling.
