Slovakia's Controversial Ban on mRNA Vaccines Explained

In a shocking turn of events, Slovakia has announced its intention to withdraw COVID-19 vaccines from the market and ban mRNA technology entirely. This decision follows the release of a groundbreaking government report that characterizes the pandemic as an “act of bioterrorism” and a “fabricated operation.” Presented by Peter Kotlár, a prominent vaccine safety researcher and government envoy, the report has ignited heated discussions within the national parliament and among the public. As the country grapples with the implications of this report, the future of vaccination and health policies hangs in the balance.

TPV: Slovakia has moved to withdraw COVID vaccines from the market and ban mRNA technology following the release of a long-anticipated official government report into the pandemic response.

The official government report, based on extensive research and investigation, concluded that the pandemic was “an act of bioterrorism” and a “fabricated operation.”

Peter Kotlár, the government envoy tasked with investigating Slovakia’s pandemic management and one of the country’s most prominent vaccine safety researchers, presented the report to the national parliament on Thursday.

The report recommends world government’s urgently withdraw mRNA vaccines from the market and refuse to sign the World Health Organization’s global pandemic treaty, as well as rejecting the updated WHO regulations.

Shortly after his re-election last year, Prime Minister Robert Fico threw his support behind a proposal from the conservative Slovak National Party (SNS), a key coalition partner, to establish a commission to investigate the government’s handling of pandemic measures.

Fico survived an assassination attempt shortly after, further intensifying the political climate in the country.

“The Slovak public simply needs an answer about the vaccination … why people were vaccinated with various experimental vaccines without any tests, why all sorts of drugs were pushed into people … and what actually happened during Covid,” said Fico, who was skeptical about mask mandates and the vaccine rollout during the pandemic.

Kotlár, a member of the SNS, was appointed to the position of envoy in January this year.

Peter Kotlar delivered the bombshell report to Slovakian parliament on Thursday

Slovakia’s health ministry has yet to comment on the report, but said Thursday in a statement — delivered in the national parliament — that it “relies on scientific facts and knowledge.”

“The Ministry of Health has taken measures to expand the vaccination network … Registration for vaccination is voluntary and the ministry wants to provide the opportunity to vaccinate all inhabitants of the Slovak Republic,” it said.

This situation in Slovakia reflects broader concerns about vaccine safety and transparency in pandemic responses worldwide. The report's allegations of bioterrorism echo sentiments found in various conspiracy theories, raising questions about the integrity of public health measures and the role of government in health crises. Prime Minister Robert Fico's support for the investigation highlights a significant shift in political sentiment, with implications for public health policy and international agreements like the WHO pandemic treaty.
