No surprices in "favouritism in the provision of vaccines"
The ones that have power will always use it for themselfs

This investigation into the elite will be fudged as all before it.
So much of Portugal's news is controlled by the Portuguese Government and so social media has an outsized effect on getting the actual news to the people. This issue of queue jumping only surfaced this month, February, through social media naming an Algarve Mayor queue jumper.
Since late December, multiple complaints from across Portugal sent through orthodox complaint routes being ignored. Now the Bastonaria of Nurses is under fire for agitating over social media - not burying her message in the orthodox complaint routes!
In any case we all already know the "get out" fudge all the special people will use. That, totally anonymously, they had all been volunteering out side in the corridors - shepherding the patients into the treatment rooms.
Out of the blue nurses unknown to them then call them in saying "I have no idea who you are but we've got an open pack of vaccine so must use it up. So roll your sleeve up!"
