Dolinková had explained that she was leaving because of the consolidation package that had been approved, which also included salary cuts in the healthcare sector. The media report that the decisive factor was probably a report from the government representative for the investigation into the Covid pandemic.
Pandemic as a “bioterrorist act”
Government representative Peter Kotlár from the Slovak National Party SNS recently spoke at a press conference about suspicions about the ineffectiveness and danger of Covid vaccines. He recommends that the government immediately stop using mRNA vaccines until their safety and effectiveness are proven. He also expressed the opinion that the pandemic was a “bioterrorist act” and a “fabricated operation codenamed Covid-19 pandemic“. According to the government official, the goal of the “operation” was to “endanger human health” and “test the naivety of the world’s population to subtly follow orders.”
Fake news and disinformation
The Slovak opposition accused Kotlár of spreading false reports and disinformation. Scientists from the Institute of Virology at the Biomedical Center of the Slovak Academy of Sciences were also concerned about the claims. According to a report by “Deutsche Welle,” Health Minister Dolinková said when she announced her resignation that there was no way to fight unscientific nature. “Mr. Kotlár’s ideas continue to find support in the governing coalition, while they have no support in the world’s scientific circles.”
Support from Fico
Prime Minister Robert Fico supports Kotlár. Fico reiterated in a video last week that he is not a supporter of vaccinations with “experimental” vaccines. He also supported Kotlár’s opinion that the pandemic should not be managed by the World Health Organization (WHO). Kotlár should also investigate more closely who in Slovakia made the most money from the pandemic, Fico emphasized, according to the Slovak news agency TASR.
Slovakia was among the hardest hit countries in the world in terms of the number of deaths related to the Covid pandemic. In the Central European EU member state with five million inhabitants, 21,000 people died as a result of corona disease.
