In his role as "Bergdoktor" Martin Gruber, Hans Sigl is the nation's television doctor.

You can see that right now. "Opponents of the vaccination were outraged that he was so nice as a" mountain doctor "and that he then advertised the vaccination on Facebook, Sigl told the dpa news agency.

"It can happen so quickly that you realize that an actor is an actor and not a mountain doctor."

It scares me a little and worries me to see what is happening in our society. «He reacts to protests on his Facebook page with humor, good humor and calm.
