Slovakia's Health Minister Zuzana Dolinková announced Friday she is stepping down over government backing for a prominent anti-vaxxer and insufficient prioritization of health care.

"I am sorry that at the level of the government coalition there is support for the ideas of the government proxy, which, in my opinion, find no scientific support," Dolinková said at a press conference, adding she will officially submit her resignation in the coming days.

Peter Kotlár, the government envoy tasked with investigating Slovakia's pandemic management and one of the country's most prominent anti-vaxxers, presented his report — which is largely based on fringe theories — on Thursday. The report argues that the pandemic was "an act of bioterrorism" and a "fabricated operation."

 

Shortly after his re-election last year, Prime Minister Robert Fico backed the initiative by the far-right Slovak National Party (SNS), one of the coalition members, to create a commission investigating pandemic measures.

"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 critical about masks and vaccines during the pandemic.

Kotlár, who hails from the SNS, was named to his envoy position in January.

In his report, Kotlár recommended the government stop vaccination with mRNA vaccines and refuse to sign the global pandemic treaty, as well as the updated World Health Organization regulations.

Slovakia's health ministry has not specifically commented on the report, but said Thursday in a statement — read aloud in the parliament — that it always "relies on scientific facts and knowledge."
