As of 3/03/21, only 15.9% of Americans have had 1 vaccine dose and 8.1% 2 doses. 

And you think there is nothing more to be said??

@Sapphiregal  I agree with both the points of view you expressed in our original post. The volume of pandemic posts has been daunting and the boards seem to have become increasingly restrictive.

Yes, and it goes way overboard. For example, it gets annoying when people post all the pages of stats, numbers and graphs and of course the daily tallies of Covid deaths. Do we need that on a shopping message board?  Everyday someone must post the XXX number dead from Covid. Like we don't know that already?  Leave all the numbers , charts, etc. on the many many news sites that have already posted them.

We choose what we read here.  It is that simple.

I will be SO glad when every other thread on these forums is not about Covid 19. I think it has been discussed to death! I think there is too much censoring by moderaters, as well. Topics have to be so "soft" that they are uninteresting.

I get what you mean about soft topics. Part of the problem is that many people think it's mean or bashing if someone disagrees or offers an alternative view so they report them. People have to wear their big boy and big girl pants if they use social media.

Fyi, the 1st Amendment does not impact what companies allow on their proprietary platforms or the consequences for what's said. It each company's rules and doesn't matter if you or I agree or disagree.

I'm so tired of it all.

I got my first shot of the Pfizer vaccine today.  Go back in 3 weeks for the 2nd shot.  It was in the parking lot of a community college not too far from me.  Very well organized and everyone was so nice.

Congratulations. I got my second Pfizer vaccine last week. I am flying to see my daughter and granddaughter next month. I miss them so much much. I will still be masked up but I feel more comfortable now.

I don't care how many threads there are about the pandemic or the vaccine. It's been a horrific year, and we are finally seeing baby steps back to normal. I think it's good to share information with each other. I don't look at every thread about it, but the fact that the threads are started and people are replying shows that personal experience is of interest. It will pass so for now just scroll on by.

Yup, the shots are a rite of passage--right up there with losing your virginity.

I get my first shot Sat. at--of all places--Michigan Stadium.

GO BLUE!

@KarenQVC  I got mine at the county fairgrounds. I fully expected to be given cotton candy after getting my shot!

@Sapphiregal - If you prefer boards that have little to no "censorship" or too many "soft" topics as you stated, there are plenty of them out there. 

Perhaps they would be more to your liking. Many are like the wild, wild, west - anything goes.

@Sapphiregal  I see plenty of posters agree with you. I assume you read the community standards when you came here. Of course all this stuff is poofed. These boards were not made to fight back and forth about what has become a political topic. It's QVC for goodness sake. There are boards out there where you can be uncensored and post whatever you want. I think they are horrific, but I guess people love them as they are popular.
