Czech molecular geneticist Soňa Peková lost her expert certification on Monday, August 17, 2026. The Czech Ministry of Justice made this decision, which according to published information pointed to serious violations of duties in the preparation of an assessment concerning vaccines against COVID-19. ihned.cz ↗
Peková held expert certification in the fields of molecular genetics, molecular biology, and molecular microbiology. The ministry's decision was disclosed by her herself on her social media profile. According to available information, she is not contesting the decision. The authority particularly criticized her bias and her misunderstanding of the expert's role. aktuality.sk ↗
The case is also connected to Slovakia, as Peková prepared an analysis for Member of Parliament Peter Kotlár. In it, she concluded that COVID vaccines are harmful. Scientists from the Slovak Academy of Sciences refuted these conclusions. The question remains what impact the loss of her expert certification will have on the assessment linked to Kotlár.

Peková criticizes the decision and attributes it to a double standard as well as to the initiative of a Slovak Member of Parliament. She points to a comparison with Tomáš Szalay, who according to her was not criticized for bias in connection with mass COVID vaccination. The case will thus continue to be monitored, particularly for its potential consequences in the Slovak debate on reviewing the pandemic and vaccination. seznamzpravy.cz ↗
