Portugal, the little country that could … get vaccinated

From an overlook in Lisbon, with the sun peeking through, things look pretty good. Having weathered the storm of COVID, at least for now, Portugal is emerging as a shining example: one of the most vaccinated countries on Earth, with roughly 98 percent of those eligible here having been vaccinated, compared to about 62 percent in the U.S. 

Trams are again packed; so are restaurants.  

Organizers of Lisbon's Web Summit tech conference saw companies shift their stance on attendance. "Amazon told us in September, early September, 'Right, we're in,' and that was followed by Facebook, Google, Apple and Microsoft," said Web Summit CEO Paddy Cosgrave.
