Deservedly Portugal is on the UK's Green List after reducing infections through lockdowns despite the EU's failure to obtain vaccines.
The Algarve can look forward to a decent number of tourists this summer provided they can keep the Brazilian variant out of the country.

Quoting David:
There is no evidence the experimental injections confer immunity, but there are thousands of adverse reactions.

But plenty of evidence that the approved vaccines reduce infection rates and deaths significantly.

There is also no evidence that your constant diatribe against all things sensible has resulted in anyone changing their minds, but there have definitely been adverse reactions to it!
