Slovakia’s head of state, Robert Fico, has pointed to a recent study showing the presence of DNA and other undeclared substances in jabs supplied to the country.

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has called for an immediate halt to government purchases of COVID-19 vaccines, citing a recent report that found mrna jabs contain extremely high levels of DNA and substances that were never disclosed by the manufacturer.

Bratislava initially considered outright banning the vaccines when a commission led by Peter Kotlar, an orthopaedic doctor and member of the ruling Slovak National Party, published a report in October claiming that the mRNA jabs alter human DNA, have been inadequately tested, and therefore should not be administered until they are proven safe. 

Kotlar has also described the COVID-19 pandemic as an ’act of bioterrorism’ and a ’fabricated operation,’ and has accused vaccine manufacturers Moderna and Pfizer of turning vaccinated people into ’genetically modified organisms.’

His report, however, was met with significant pushback from opposition parties, as well as former Slovak Health Minister Zuzana Dolinkova, who cast doubt on Kotlar’s qualifications concerning the subject.

She subsequently resigned from her position that same month, citing government backing for an anti-vaxxer and insufficient prioritization of health care.

In a post on X on Wednesday, Fico published a video in which he stated that ignoring the findings of the Kotlar-led commission on the quality of the Covid-19 vaccines would be ’extremely irresponsible.’

Fico noted that in March, he instructed the Health Ministry to establish a working group to address the findings of the expert report submitted by Kotlar, but acknowledged that this may not produce results quickly enough.

The prime minister said he would try to resolve the issue in ’a reasonable timeframe’ and propose during an upcoming government meeting that, apart from the working group, the Slovak Academy of Sciences (SAV) would also be asked to conduct a quantitative analysis of the presence of DNA and other substances in the vaccines.

Fico also suggested that the government should inform the population about the serious findings regarding the jabs. Although Covid-19 vaccination rates are extremely low, people deserve such a warning, he said.  

The prime minister went on to propose that Slovakia suspend the purchase of additional vaccines from the unspecified manufacturer, which it is obligated to do under a contract signed by the former government in 2023.

Bratislava is still expected to procure nearly 300,000 doses of Covid-19 vaccines in 2025 and 2026, which is estimated to cost around $6.6 million, Fico said, stressing that ’until the results of the additional quantitative analysis are delivered, the government should not procure further vaccines from this manufacturer or pay for them.’ TELL US WHAT YOU THINK
