​30 billion forints of public money and a lot of imagination was needed to create the Hungarikum Park, a brainchild of Sándor Lezsák, MP (Fidesz), poet and deputy speaker of the National Assembly. There is a riding school in the shape of a “turul” (a mythical bird in the Hungarian and Turkish tradition), a “wine cathedral”, a footgolf course, a wellness hotel, a network of roads in the shape of the “miraculous stag” (a character in Hungarian mythology), a house for the so called “Hungarikums” (typical Hungarian products and features) and even a planetarium. Lezsák gave us a guided tour of the place, where we were able to see the completed and ongoing projects from above with the help of a camera drone. 

A growing problem among people vaccinated with the Chinese coronavirus vaccine is that many do not show adequate immunity in post-vaccination serology testing. Last week, the results of two SARS-CoV-2 antibody (often referred to as serology) testing from the Municipality of Budapest and Semmelweis University were published, with Sinopharm being the worst performer in both. At the same time, PM Viktor Orbán announced that a third dose will be available from August. Nonetheless, some people have already managed to get an mRNA vaccine after the seemingly ineffective Chinese one.
