Zsolt Hegedűs, Health Minister of the Tisza government, announced before the National Assembly committee on Monday morning that he had invited Nobel Prize-winning scientist Katalin Karikó to join the Ministry’s advisory board. The opposition party Mi Hazánk („Our Homeland”) sharply criticized the decision, arguing that Tisza is pursuing globalist objectives by fully aligning itself with the interests of the pharmaceutical industry.
During his parliamentary hearing on May 11, 2026, Zsolt Hegedűs confirmed that Katalin Karikó would serve as a member of his advisory council. The biochemist’s discoveries laid the foundation for mRNA-based medical technologies and she was awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
According to a statement released Tuesday by the University of Szeged’s communications office, Katalin Karikó has agreed to act as an adviser to Minister of Health Zsolt Hegedűs. The statement quoted the Nobel laureate as saying:
If the request concerns my knowledge and experience rather than my name, then I am willing to take on the role of health adviser — but only on an unpaid basis.”
The professor added that she would offer guidance in areas within her expertise, noting that successful practices from healthcare systems in countries such as the United States or Germany could potentially be adapted to improve patient care in Hungary.
“The most important factor is what people themselves can do for their own health,” she emphasized. “That means prevention, built on healthy nutrition, regular physical activity, and adequate nighttime rest.” She added that regular preventive screenings should also play a central role.
Meanwhile, the nationalist opposition party Mi Hazánk criticized the decision to appoint Katalin Karikó as an adviser. In a statement, MP István Szabadi described the Nobel Prize-winning scientist as “the developer of mRNA-based vaccines that have made millions of people ill worldwide.”
István Szabadi also condemned Zsolt Hegedűs for signaling during his ministerial hearing that Hungary would not withdraw from the World Health Organization (WHO).
The opposition politician believes this demonstrates that the Tisza party is pursuing “the same globalist objectives as the Fidesz government,” which he accused of having “fully served the interests of the WHO and Big Pharma during the COVID-19 pandemic.” He further claimed that the minister himself had “participated in implementing WHO recommendations and the vaccination program.”
The politician argued that the WHO seeks to assume control over national governments under the pretext of pandemic preparedness.
He added that his party alone in Hungary is addressing the concerns of individuals allegedly harmed by vaccines and is protesting what he described as attacks on personal freedom and national sovereignty, “just as it did during the Covid terror.”
The politician called for “an investigation into the crimes committed during the COVID-19 pandemic,”
which he said are not subject to any statute of limitations, as well as compensation for those who, in his view, suffered harm either from vaccination or from refusing vaccination. He also urged the Hungarian government to withdraw from the WHO.
Fact
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Mi Hazánk heavily built its political messaging around vaccine-skeptical narratives. Politicians from the party regularly criticized the government’s public health measures and even questioned the effectiveness of mRNA vaccines. Critics argue that the party’s communication contributed to the rise of vaccine skepticism and distrust toward scientific institutions in Hungary, particularly during the pandemic.
