I can picture millennials sitting in their parents basement eating big macs all day while SJWing on reddit and collecting fat unemployment checks gaining a lot of weight easily.

I know this is an amusing image, but even at its height unemployment rates among millennials was like 14%, and that was very brief. many more had hours reduced, but most people managed to keep employment through the recession. 

14% is certainly high, but it still means that 6 out of 7 were working.

Seems to cause stronger reactions in younger people. At my hospital almost everyone had at least some side effects after he second dose of Moderna and Pfizer.  Mostly 25-45 year olds. The older employees didn’t have any issues. Small sample size but I’ve heard the same from other places as well.

I’m 42 and was shivering in bed for around 5 hours the night of shot two. Managed to make it in to work the next day because I’m not a millennial but it was a rough night.

Yeah, that seems to be pretty consistent with people I've known that have gotten the vaccine.

So encouraging people to stay locked in their houses for a year has consequences?

I've actually lost weight because I've been eating much healthier. I've been drinking more and have probably been less active overall, but it still hasn't been enough to offset my overall improvement. People could've used this experience to better themselves, but unfortunately, most of us seem to have doubled-down on degeneracy.

Hah! Shows what you know. Millennials don't eat McDonald's!

Chipotle?

My sister got her 2nd dose Saturday.  She said she felt pretty miserable on Sunday, but by Monday am was feeling better.  Moderna.

I am actually OK waiting a little bit.  I am scheduled for a mammogram in Apr so I don't need my body reacting to something and having a picture taken that could possibly lead to more tests.    I have anxiety enough going through this protocol.  Once done with this, I will hunt a shot down.  No worries there.

My daughter opted out of the J&J the Gov put out for educators.  I couldn't believe it!  She said they have had staffing issues clear through Wednesday the last 2 weeks.  Still time to work on her.  I think it was this particular vaccine, and that it was just sprung on them quickly.

My older daughter got her first shot, but her husband starts radiation this week, so he has to wait until that is over.

I feel miserable and didn’t even get the vaccine yet

yeah I call BS on weight gain AVERAGING 29 lbs. that's insane. 

also, that is the average among those who reported weight gains. so you're already isolating less than half the population. 

still, 29 lbs on average sounds like some BS to me.

I am a millennial and put on weight this past year. I ended up shredding it after October, but yeah "two weeks to slow the spread” was not fun. I do not live in my moms basement and do not eat fast food.  I found out the hard way that alcohol has 7 Calories/gram.

I'm not surprised that people gained weight in 2020. I'm also not surprised it would be more heavily felt by the demographics most impacted by the increased unemployment & underemployment.

I just think 29 lbs is a HELLUVA lot of weight.

I'd also want to know what a typical year looks like. most people gain weight as they get older and enter the workforce; metabolism slows, activity level often drops when employment increases, marriage & kids crowds out that time more. if in a typical non-COVID year weight gain among those who had undesired weight gain was say 20 lbs, well that 29 lbs looks a lot different.

Pfizer, first dose, at 1pm Sunday, arm feels fine today. No other symptoms so far.

My arm is sore after the 1st Moderna shot yesterday. Hopefully it goes away by tomorrow.

A fellow I work with just got the single dose Johnson & Johnson yesterday.

Says he feels like he is sick, tired, worn out, without any sick symptoms, other than lethargy.

I'm technically a millennial, too (I identify as a gen x since I'm right on the border).  I never stopped working though and my kids really only missed baseball and softball in the spring so I still was running them places.  Everything just moved outside.  I also have 2+ acres with a shitton of gardens to maintain, mulch, etc...keeps me active and busy.  Ash bores have done a number on trees here too.  Have six trees to cut down and cut up.  That should put me in traction for a week.

Still, the seven-day average of new cases rose by 5% or more in 27 states as of Sunday, according to a CNBC analysis of data compiled by Johns Hopkins University. The nation logged an average of 54,308 new cases per day over the past week — a 1% rise from the prior week after months of rapidly declining case numbers, according to the Hopkins data.

Earlier Monday, New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy said the state would likely pause its reopening plans as Covid-19 cases begin to rise again there.

Less effective at preventing coming down with Covid, or less effective in preventing death?

Not sure what is so confusing. Again facts are just facts, over 60 million not eligible plus millions that refuse to take the vaccine is terrible. Sure saying 80 million already partially vaccinated sounds great but there is context to that which is being ignored
